Semiconductor to become critical industry in Vietnam, says minister

HANOI (XINHUA) – The semiconductor industry will be a foundational sector and critical national industry of Vietnam for the next 30-50 years, Vietnam News Agency reported yesterday, citing Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung.

He said 2024 would be the first year Vietnam adopts the National Strategy on Semiconductor Industry Growth.

Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung said Vietnam had advantages in developing its semiconductor industry, particularly its human resources.

The National Innovation Centre is building a project on developing human resources for the semiconductor industry as part of Vietnam’s efforts to provide 50,000 engineers for the industry, the report said.

The center’s vice director Vo Xuan Hoai said it was working with semiconductor chip giants in the world to explore their demands, thus giving a forecast of human resources demands in the future, especially for those who are operating in Vietnam or keen on investing in Vietnam.

It is estimated that Vietnam’s semiconductor industry could exceed USD6.16 billion by 2024.
