Vietnam is strengthening its technological self-reliance by mobilising overseas expertise, advancing domestic chip design and expanding semiconductor testing and packaging capabilities to deepen its role in global supply chains.

Vietnam's homegrown VGC v1.0 security chip marks an early step toward mastering strategic semiconductor technologies and implementing Resolution 57, according to Viettel Chairman and CEO Tao Duc Thang.

Vietnam is stepping up efforts to develop locally designed chips, strengthen semiconductor research and expand international partnerships, aiming to overcome commercialisation barriers and move deeper into global chip supply chains.

The ADC chip design recently launched by Vietnamese engineers marks a significant breakthrough for Vietnam’s semiconductor industry, showcasing the ability to independently design and master core technology.

VietNamNet introduces the article "Filling the strategic human resource gap to create a launching pad for Vietnam's semiconductor industry to break through and reach the world" by Dr. Pham Manh Hung and Dr. Le Trung Hieu (University of Economics,).

Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung said that 2024 will be the year for commercializing 5G nationwide to create an infrastructure for industrial apps, ANI (artificial narrow intelligence) and AI apps.

Vietnam failed to develop the semiconductor industry in 1970s but it has reactivated the semiconductor development strategy with a contingent of young engineers meeting international standards.

Chip production will fuel Vietnam's aspiration to become a prominent manufacturing hub in the region.

With no chip semiconductor industry and a weak competitiveness in the international market, Vietnam’s smartphone brands have not been successful.

Since electronic circuits are being applied in many fields from hi-tech agriculture, smart city infrastructure, to national defense, it is predicted that by 2024, the semiconductor industry in Vietnam will have exceeded the value of US$6.16 billion.

Vietnam’s FPT Software has launched a new subsidiary, FPT Semiconductor, marking a key milestone for the company as it enters the booming semiconductor industry.
