π Tender Overview
The Vietnam Semiconductor Incubation and Training Center (VSIC) & FPT-AIchip Semiconductor Startup Incubation Space were officially opened on the morning of March 28 in Hanoi, co-organized by the National Innovation Center (NIC) and FPT Semiconductor and technology partners.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Mr. Vu Quoc Huy, Director of the National Innovation Center (NIC), emphasized that the VSIC Initiative demonstrates the pioneering spirit and strategic vision of the parties in developing the Vietnamese semiconductor industry, aiming for a solid position in the global value chain. Implemented since 2024, this initiative has provided valuable scholarships for students at 40 leading universities in Vietnam, creating an important premise for high-quality human resources in the semiconductor field.
The NIC Director affirmed that the establishment of VSIC is a clear demonstration of the strong commitment of the Government and the business community in building and developing the semiconductor industry. This is not only a driving force for promoting research cooperation and innovation, but also lays a solid foundation for Vietnam to gradually affirm its position on the world semiconductor industry map. NIC is committed to continuing to accompany partners to promote research, training and development of breakthrough initiatives, contributing to making Vietnam an important link in the global supply chain.
Mr. Tran Dang Hoa, Chairman of FPT IS - a member company of FPT Group - and Chairman of FPT Semiconductor, said that FPT is strongly committed to researching high-tech products bearing the mark "Made by FPT - Make in Vietnam".
"The establishment of VSIC is an important milestone for the semiconductor industry and also demonstrates FPT's strong commitment to incubating and developing semiconductor businesses, technology, and talent, and enhancing Vietnam's competitiveness on the global semiconductor map," the chairman of FPT Semiconductor emphasized.
FPT Semiconductor representatives also committed to accompany in developing high-quality human resources to help Vietnam become one of the dynamic and innovative semiconductor centers in the region; promote the semiconductor ecosystem in Vietnam to become an attractive destination for the semiconductor industry.
On behalf of the leaders of the Ministry of Finance, Deputy Minister Nguyen Duc Tam emphasized that the establishment of VSIC is an important milestone in the implementation of Resolution 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo, Resolution 03/NQ-CP of the Government and Resolution 193/2025/QH15 of the National Assembly on science, technology and innovation development.
According to the Deputy Minister, to build a high-quality workforce in the field of science and innovation, the cooperation model between the State - Schools - Enterprises plays a key role. Training needs to shift from the mindset of providing what is available to approaching the practical needs of the market and enterprises. At the same time, adhering to international standards will help Vietnamese human resources meet the requirements of the global economy.
Deputy Minister Nguyen Duc Tam affirmed that the Ministry of Finance is committed to creating favorable conditions in terms of institutions and policies to support partners and enterprises in developing the ecosystem and human resources for the Vietnamese semiconductor industry. However, he also emphasized that partners need to comply with their commitments and ensure product development progress within a certain period of time. The Deputy Minister expects that by 2025, Vietnam will have thousands of high-quality engineers in the semiconductor field, contributing to bringing this industry to international level.
