Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) November 27, 2025 – Hanoi National University hosted the inauguration ceremony of the Semiconductor Alliance and a seminar on “Strengthening Cooperation to Promote Training and Research in the Semiconductor Field.” The core objective of this event is to connect talent cultivation, research, and industry needs, build an open ecosystem, and help Vietnam cultivate high-quality semiconductor talent and create “Made in Vietnam” semiconductor products.
The establishment of this alliance is both a strategic move for the development of Vietnam's semiconductor industry and demonstrates the firm commitment of Hanoi National University and the government to implementing the “Vietnam Semiconductor Industry Development Strategy to 2030 and Vision 2050.” To date, nearly 30 domestic and international universities, research institutions, and enterprises have confirmed their participation in the alliance, forming an initial cooperation matrix.
Universities Lead the Way: Anchoring Dual Goals of Talent and Research
Pham Bao Son, Vice Rector of Hanoi National University, pointed out that the semiconductor industry is a key lever for Vietnam to master core technologies, enhance national competitiveness, and consolidate its position in the global value chain. The university has already launched several semiconductor research projects and is advancing the construction of a national-level chip design, manufacturing, and testing center and a shared laboratory in the Hoa Lac High-Tech Industrial Park. It has also set a clear goal of training 10,000 semiconductor professionals by 2030. He firmly believes that with the joint efforts of alliance members, not only will the industry's talent needs be met, but the semiconductor industry will also become a pillar of Vietnam's economy.
Multi-party Collaboration: Building Synergy for Industrial Development
Vu Xuan Hoai, Deputy Director of the National Innovation Center (NIC), stated that the NIC will engage in pragmatic cooperation with national universities in Hanoi, focusing on connecting the alliance with leading enterprises to facilitate research collaboration, technology transfer, and the implementation of talent training programs that meet international standards.
Tea Kai Van, General Manager of Intel Vietnam, recognized the potential of young Vietnamese talent. He emphasized that the sustainable development of the semiconductor industry requires strengthening STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) basic education, and that a tripartite collaborative mechanism among the state, universities, and enterprises is the core guarantee for promoting efficient industrial development.
Le Duc Anh, Associate Professor at the University of Tokyo, focused on the importance of international cooperation, believing that Vietnam urgently needs semiconductor talent. Only by deepening cooperation with developed countries in the industry can the foundation for talent cultivation be solidified and the quality of training improved.
Industry consensus is clear that deep corporate involvement in talent development and research is crucial—not only can it provide practical platforms for talent, but it can also accelerate the R&D and implementation of high-quality "Made in Vietnam" semiconductor products through technical support and resource investment, injecting substantial momentum into the development of Vietnam's semiconductor industry.
