According to the newly signed cooperation agreement, FPT Semiconductor and Silvaco committed to cooperate in developing human resources for semiconductor companies in the US. Specifically, Silvaco, FPT Semiconductor, and FPT University committed to cooperate in developing human resources for semiconductor companies in the US. The parties also cooperated to establish the Vietnam Semiconductor Training Center to promote human resource development under the Government's program.
In addition, FPT provides IP (Intellectual Property) on Silvaco's platform for this enterprise to provide to customers. Silvaco and FPT also cooperate to develop business in the fields of StandardCell, IO, Memory design. In the long term, Silvaco will become a strategic investor of FPT Semiconductor.
FPT Semiconductor is also the exclusive representative and distributor of Silvaco’s software in the semiconductor industry in Vietnam. Founded in 1984, Silvaco is a semiconductor, automation and technology software company. The company is headquartered in Santa Clara, California and has offices in North America, Europe and throughout Asia.
Previously, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh worked with CEOs of leading US enterprises and corporations in the semiconductor field.
According to Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung, this is the next step in implementing cooperation activities between organizations and enterprises in the US semiconductor industry with Vietnamese partners to bring opportunities to expand the market and enhance Vietnam's capacity in this industry.
Previously, on September 11, during US President Joe Biden's visit to Vietnam, FPT Chairman Truong Gia Binh announced the investment strategy in the US , developing high-quality human resources in the field of AI and promoting the development of the semiconductor industry in Vietnam.
FPT also announced a comprehensive strategic cooperation with LandingAI - a pioneer in the field of machine vision and artificial intelligence in Silicon Valley (USA) to accelerate the process of bringing AI into training at the FPT Education system.
FPT is the first enterprise in Vietnam to produce commercial chips, focusing on designing power chips according to customer orders. Currently, FPT is focusing on expanding the semiconductor and artificial intelligence sectors.
FPT Chairman Truong Gia Binh said that Vietnam can build a solid position in AI. In addition, Vietnam and FPT both have the opportunity to develop faster in the digital field.
