The semiconductor chip industry in Vietnam is rapidly growing, and with it comes the need for specialized human resources. During a conference organized by the Ministry of Science and Technology in collaboration with Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Deputy Minister Tran Hong Thai emphasized the importance of prioritizing research topics related to semiconductor chips at the national and ministerial levels to support masters and graduate students in their endeavors.
According to many scientists and businesses, there is a critical need to focus on training and nurturing human resources for core technology R&D, establish connections to form an ecosystem, and implement mission programs for companies involved in semiconductor technology. Deputy Minister Thai highlighted the importance of collaboration and training in developing specialized human resources and national products, with shared responsibility among the Ministries of Education and Training, Planning and Investment.
The Ministry of Science and Technology is committed to providing annual guidance on scientific and technological research related to semiconductor microchips and supporting research projects through the National Foundation for Science and Technology Development (Nafosted). The goal is to prioritize the training and development of human resources in semiconductor technology to meet the industry’s growing demands.
Attracting national and international experts to participate in research projects is crucial for Vietnam to gradually master semiconductor technology. Deputy Minister Thai also stressed the need for Vietnam to clearly define its current position in semiconductor chip technology and determine its role in the global production chain. It is essential for Vietnam to gradually acquire and master technology rather than solely relying on foreign direct investment (FDI) to advance in the semiconductor industry.
