On the morning of December 14, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, head of the National Steering Committee for Semiconductor Industry Development, chaired the first meeting.

The Prime Minister stated that digital transformation, green transformation, circular economic development, smart economy, knowledge economy, sharing economy, and night-time economy are the world's goals and orientations.

Growth breakthrough needed

If Vietnam wants to combine national strength and the times, it must go in the right direction of the times, accurately assess the situation and respond with timely, appropriate and effective policies, in the spirit of "keeping up, progressing together and surpassing".

In the coming period, the country must achieve two 100-year goals (by 2030, the 100th anniversary of the Party's founding, and by 2045, the 100th anniversary of the country's founding), requiring breakthroughs, especially in economic growth.

Economic growth will lead to an increase in GDP scale, an increase in per capita income, an increase in labor productivity, improvement of people's material and spiritual life and enhancement of the country's position.

The Head of Government believes that in order to promote growth, along with renewing traditional growth drivers such as investment, export, and consumption, it is necessary to promote new growth drivers.

In which, digital transformation is a major driving force that countries are focusing on and shifting, considering this a revolution that establishes a new historical process and world order.

Suggesting some major orientations, the Prime Minister said that it is necessary to raise awareness and have breakthrough thinking about the position, role and importance of new growth drivers. Especially artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, cloud computing; perfecting institutions, prioritizing selected industries; developing infrastructure, including electricity infrastructure; training human resources.

Urgent development of human resources for semiconductor industry

The Prime Minister requested ministries and branches to urgently implement the "Human resource development program for the semiconductor industry to 2030, with a vision to 2050" and the "Semiconductor industry development strategy to 2030".

He noted that digital transformation is very broad, but the core is research and development of artificial intelligence on the basis of data; Vietnam's artificial intelligence must be based on Vietnam's database.

Emphasizing that the current opportunity is very favorable, the Prime Minister requested that after issuing the meeting's conclusions, ministries and branches need to urgently get involved, actively and proactively implement tasks with high determination, great efforts and drastic actions.

Work must have a focus, quickly seize opportunities, turn them into concrete actions, do each task properly, and finish each task to turn the situation around and change the state.
