Linking research, application, and the market in developing the semiconductor industry requires a tightly coordinated model among the State, educational institutions, and enterprises. In this framework, universities and research institutes serve as the primary providers of human resources — considered one of the most significant bottlenecks of the semiconductor industry.

Viet Nam is facing a significant shortage of semiconductor engineers as the industry expands rapidly, requiring stronger linkages between education, businesses, and international partners to develop its workforce.

2025 was an incredibly significant year for Viet Nam-US relations, marked by a series of major anniversaries and substantive advances across multiple areas of cooperation, US Ambassador to Viet Nam Marc E. Knapper said in a recent interview with the Viet Nam News Agency.

According to experts, the global semiconductor market is forecast to exceed 1 trillion USD by 2030, while the world faces a shortage of more than one million engineers in this field.

Viet Nam possesses all the necessary conditions to emerge as a vital link in the region and global semiconductor supply chains, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung said during a working session in Ha Noi on July 30 with the business council for sustainable development of Taiwan (China).

The Vietnamese ADC chip design, launched in late June, has not only stirred excitement across the tech community but also opened up a major leap forward in the country’s digital transformation.

The semiconductor industry is the foundation of technological innovation and economic growth, playing an important role in the development of many high-tech industries. Human resource management will be one of the key driving forces to help Viet Nam become a strategic link in the global semiconductor value chain.

CT Group, a company specialising in high-tech investment, recently held a six-month review of the implementation of the Politburo’s Resolution 57 with a range of products spanning science, technology, digital transformation and innovation.

The semiconductor industry is opening a new chapter for Viet Nam with golden opportunities to break through, play an important role in the global value chain, contributing to building a self-reliant and self-reliant economy.

As of the end of January 2025, the Republic of Korea (RoK) remains the largest foreign investor among the 149 countries and territories investing in Vietnam. The total investment from the RoK has surpassed 92 billion USD.

Amid the surging demand for semiconductor engineers driven by the AI boom, many companies are turning to Vietnam for its talent pool and competitive labour costs, positioning the Southeast Asian nation as a "magnet" for major players in the chip industry.
