Vietnam has officially issued the Semiconductor Industry Development Strategy and the Human Resource Development Program for this sector, targeting 2030 with a vision towards 2050. This is a critical step for Vietnam to enter the global semiconductor market valued at $1 trillion.

Key points of the strategy:

1. Human resource development: Vietnam aims to train 50,000 engineers by 2030 to meet the demands of the semiconductor and artificial intelligence (AI) industries.

2. Investment attraction and infrastructure development: The government focuses on attracting both foreign and domestic investment. In the first phase (2024-2030), the goal is to establish 100 design companies, 1 small-scale semiconductor chip manufacturing plant, and 10 semiconductor packaging and testing plants.

3. Supply chain development: Vietnam aims to participate in key stages of the global semiconductor supply chain, concentrating on packaging and testing.

4. Long-term goals: By 2050, Vietnam aspires to become a leading nation in the semiconductor industry, mastering R&D technology in this field.

Opportunities and challenges:

Vietnam has already attracted significant investors such as Intel, Amkor, and FPT. However, to compete and attract further investment, Vietnam needs to improve policies, streamline customs procedures, and facilitate conditions for experts.

The biggest challenge lies in developing a robust semiconductor ecosystem and overcoming fierce international competition.

Vietnam is positioning itself to become a safe and vital destination in the global semiconductor supply chain, opening up significant growth opportunities in the future.
