By 2045, Vietnam eyes to become an important link in the global semiconductor industry value chain with a contingent of engineers and experts capable of meeting the industry's requirements in both quality and quantity.
Such is one of the salient points set forth under Prime Minister Decision 791/QD-TTg dated August 5, on the establishment of a national steering committee on semiconductor industry development (the steering committee).
Accordingly, the steering committee, as an inter-sectoral coordination organization, is responsible for assisting the Government and Prime Minister in studying, directing and coordinating with competent agencies to handle important related issues.
Besides, it will be responsible for researching, giving consultations, recommendations and measures, as well as facilitating the coordination between relevant ministries and ministerial-level agencies, Government bodies, and related organizations to bolster the semiconductor industry development.
The Government leader will be the head of the committee, while deputy heads are the Minister of Planning and Investment, and the Minister of Information and Communications.
By 2030, the country plans to engage deeply in the semiconductor packaging and testing process, aiming to master part of the associated technology and train 50,000 engineers to serve the industry across all stages of the value chain.
At present, nearly 160 out of about 240 universities nationwide are providing technology training, which will be expanded to semiconductors, and 35 educational institutions are offering majors related to semiconductors.
