The Ministry of Planning and Investment has engaged with tech giants like Qualcomm, Google, Meta, LAM Research, Qorvo and AlChip. Specific plans are underway to shift their supply chains to Vietnam, establish research centres, and expand manufacturing operations in the country. Notably, a landmark cooperation agreement signed between the Vietnamese Government and US tech firm NVIDIA on December 5 marks a major milestone. It aims to establish a research and development centre and an AI data hub in Vietnam, promising to deliver a technological leap that will create substantial ripple effects across the industry. According to the Ministry, this rare opportunity could propel Vietnam into the heart of the global semiconductor supply chain, Dung said, stressing the need for the involvement of various ministries, businesses, research universities, and both domestic and foreign experts. Enhancing international cooperation and actively engaging with major semiconductor and AI corporations is crucial, with a particular focus on advanced packaging projects, an area ripe for breakthroughs in Vietnam's semiconductor industry./.
