The semiconductor industry is rapidly growing, and Vietnam is well-positioned to become a global center for human resources in this field. This was emphasized by Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha and Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung at a conference organized by Phenikaa Group, Phenikaa University in collaboration with Synopsys Corporation and Arizona State University.
The conference highlighted the crucial role of human resources in the competitiveness of products and manufacturers in the semiconductor industry. Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha emphasized the need to build Vietnam into a global human resource center for the semiconductor industry. To achieve this goal, he stressed the importance of attracting investment in research, design, production, packaging, and testing of semiconductor chips in Vietnam.
Phenikaa Group has already entered the semiconductor industry in Vietnam through their subsidiary Phenikaa Semiconductor Company (S-Phenikaa). S-Phenikaa aims to train thousands of chip design engineers and technicians with international certificates to meet the industry’s human resource needs. They have also introduced the IC design major into the regular university training program to promote research, development, and design of advanced chips.
The government is focusing on building the Semiconductor Industry Development Strategy and Human Resource Training Project to create a team of high-quality human resources with expertise in semiconductor ICs. The Ministry of Science and Technology is supporting research and development related to semiconductor microchips to advance the industry in Vietnam. They will prioritize research topics related to semiconductor microcircuits and support young research groups in this field.
To ensure that Vietnam remains competitive in the global supply chain for semiconductors, it is essential to forecast market demand accurately at each stage of its value chain. This will enable manufacturers to adapt quickly to changes in demand and invest efficiently in research and development. By building a strong team of highly skilled human resources with expertise in semiconductor technology, Vietnam can become a global leader in this rapidly growing industry.
