Building on the coalition of five universities to develop high-quality human resources for the semiconductor industry initiated by the Ministry of Education and Training in Da Nang in 2023, VNU-Ha Noi launched the semiconductor alliance to link education, research, and industry; foster an open ecosystem and develop high-quality human resources and “Make in Viet Nam” semiconductor products.
This strategic move underscores VNU Ha Noi’s strong commitment to joining hands with the Government to implement major policies, particularly the programme on developing human resources for the semiconductor industry until 2030, with a vision to 2050.
So far, nearly 30 domestic and international universities, organisations, and businesses, have confirmed their participation in the alliance, including VNU Hanoi, VNU Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang University, Hue University, Can Tho University, and the Academy of Cryptography Techniques of Viet Nam, Sungkyunkwan University of the Republic of Korea (RoK), Kumamoto University of Japan, Guangxi University of China, Moscow Power Engineering Institute of Russia, along with FPT Group, Viettel Group, MRIV International of Japan, among others.
The alliance will connect laboratory networks, share modern facilities and equipment, and facilitate the implementation of interdisciplinary research projects in domestic chip design and manufacturing. It will also promote the training of core lecturers, technology transfer, and strengthen the capacity of universities, research institutes, and enterprises.
It will also accelerate research, design, and manufacturing of ‘Make in Viet Nam’ chips to increase localisation and value added. It will further advise the Government and regulatory agencies on policy development to support a sustainable development strategy for the national semiconductor industry.
