Speaking at a seminar in Hanoi on October 1 on international cooperation in human resources development for integrated circuit (IC) design, Hoai said the training work, initiated and led by the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI), is being implemented by universities across the country.

The national socio-economic development strategy for 2021-2030 also highlights comprehensive human resources development, especially high-quality personnel training, and talent nurturing, he added.

To realize Vietnam's commitment to actively participating in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the Government has identified high-tech fields, notably the semiconductor and artificial intelligence (AI) industries, which are expected to create breakthroughs and opportunities for domestic firms to engage more deeply in the global value chain.

As one of the fastest-growing digital economies in Southeast Asia, and with a strategic geopolitical position, a young and technology-savvy workforce, and modern infrastructure, Vietnam is attracting major global tech giants, especially in the semiconductor and AI sectors.

The Government and the MPI are committed to facilitating investment, business, and innovation activities by tech firms in Vietnam, Hoai emphasized.

The MPI highly values the comprehensive cooperation between the NIC and tech giants such as Qorvo, Cadence, Marvell, Siemens, and ARM, which focuses on not only training IC design engineers but also promoting research and development (R&D), thus forming a semiconductor ecosystem in Vietnam, he said.

The NIC has recently signed cooperation agreements with Cadence, Qorvo, Marvell, Siemens, and others in R&D and human resources development, and providing scholarships in the semiconductor field.
