Located in the heart of Southeast Asia, Vietnam enjoys a strategic position in the global supply chain and is an ideal location for manufacturers looking to enter the region's fast-growing semiconductor market.
It has been estimated that microchip production in Vietnam will need 1,000 additional engineers each year but actual supply falls short of demand. To bridge the gap, the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology has worked to improve its semiconductor training programme, and offered two more majors this year with semiconductor production elements.
Hanoi’s Forest Protection Department and World Animal Protection (WAP) finished re-implanting microchips in 200 captive bears earlier this week in the capital city.
