During the conference, Mr. Nguyá»…n Anh Tuấn, Chairman of the Viet Nam Semiconductor Association, highlighted both the opportunities and challenges in developing the semiconductor industry in Viet Nam. He emphasised that the microchip industry, as a high-tech sector, provides significant value and is fundamentally important for supporting and propelling the advancement of other industries, thereby contributing meaningfully to economic development. Mr. Tuấn underscored the fact that, despite being a ‘billion-dollar’ industry, the semiconductor ICs sector in Viet Nam is currently struggling with a severe shortage of skilled human resources.

The conference was designed for professionals, businesses, and academic institutions to engage in discussions and propose solutions for human resources development in semiconductor ICs. It also aimed to foster collaboration between the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee and the National University Ho Chi Minh City. Furthermore, it was crucial to present the government with a comprehensive set of suggested strategies for the advancement of Vietnam’s semiconductor ICs industry, aligned with a forward-looking vision toward 2045. Professor Ä�ặng LÆ°Æ¡ng Mô, an advisor at the National University Ho Chi Minh City, emphasised that the expansion of the semiconductor ICs industry necessitates coordinated efforts from the government, investors, universities, and manufacturers.

The presentations featured the following topics:

• Current remedies for human resources and forecasted demand for semiconductor ICs. Rapporteur: Mr. Nguyá»…n Anh Tuấn, Chairman of the Vietnam Semiconductor Association.
• Introduction to training and research activities in semiconductor technology at the VNUHCM-Â鶹´«Ã½s. Presenter: Assoc. Prof. VÅ© Thị Hạnh Thu, Faculty of Physics — Engineering Physics.
• Challenges in the training of engineers in semiconductor ICs at universities/institutes and retraining at enterprises. Presenter: Mr. Nguyá»…n Phúc Vinh, representative of Synopsys Company.

During the conference, the VNUHCM-Â鶹´«Ã½ signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with various participating units and sponsors.
