In the development strategy for the period 2021-2030, Ho Chi Minh City National University has identified three key areas of training and research for the fields of semiconductor technology, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence (AI).

Regarding research, the development strategy for the 2021-2030 period determines to master a number of core and foundational technologies in the fields of semiconductor technology, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence; and to form a number of initial and start-up enterprises in these fields.

At the seminar, large technology enterprises such as Samsung, Intel, Synopsys, Kaopiz, Realtech... presented on the current situation of high-tech human resources, solutions to improve the quality of training programs, policies to support internships and scholarships for students.

In particular, universities need to create new human resources for the future, meeting the development needs of businesses, especially in the context of strong development of 4.0 technology as it is today.

Universities need to cooperate with businesses to train human resources in both theoretical and practical knowledge. At the same time, it is also necessary to update the curriculum of emerging industries, "core" industries, and spearheads for high-tech fields.

Mr. Andrea Coppola, Chief Economist, Director of the Prosperity Program for Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, World Bank, spoke at the seminar.

Considering that Vietnam's highly skilled human resources are still lacking and cannot meet the needs of large technology corporations, Mr. Andrea Coppola, Chief Economist, Director of the Program for Prosperity in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, World Bank, emphasized the priorities and principles of developing highly skilled human resources.

Accordingly, Vietnam needs to build a strong supply of highly qualified scientists and engineers and improve training for highly skilled technicians.
