Accordingly, on semiconductor human resource development: Vietnam is modernizing 4 national semiconductor laboratories, which can be shared by 20 higher education institutions, and aims to train 1,300 specialized lecturers. Companies such as FPT and Viettel are actively developing domestic human resources to fill the skills gap.

On enhancing incentives for investors: Vietnam reduces corporate income tax, with the rate potentially dropping to 10% over 15 years for high-tech projects. Other incentives include exemptions from land rent and import duties on semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

In addition, on strengthening global partnerships: The Vietnam Semiconductor Innovation Network connects domestic companies with international companies to promote cooperation and knowledge exchange. With a neutral geopolitical strategy, Vietnam can attract investment from major semiconductor-producing countries, minimizing risks related to trade tensions.

Vietnam's semiconductor industry is growing rapidly, with strong momentum from government-backed initiatives, foreign investment and growing demand from areas such as electric vehicles, AI and industrial automation.

With continued policy support, investment in talent development and expansion of high-tech infrastructure, Vietnam is well-positioned to become a global semiconductor hub by 2050.
