(Dan Tri) - The Minister of Planning and Investment shared that, immediately after signing the agreement with the Vietnamese Government, Nvidia has implemented recruitment work, perfected the leadership apparatus, and attracted domestic and foreign talent.

"Boost" from Nvidia This morning (December 14), at the first meeting of the National Steering Committee on Semiconductor Industry Development, Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung said that Vietnam is emerging as an attractive destination for investors in the semiconductor industry. According to the Minister, in recent times, Vietnamese agencies have contacted and worked with many leading technology corporations and companies that have plans to expand cooperation, investment and business in Vietnam in the coming time. Regarding Nvidia, the Ministry said that the Prime Minister has assigned it to coordinate with relevant agencies to establish two groups, including the Cooperation Implementation Working Group and the Negotiation Group with Nvidia, to attract investment, concretize the cooperation plan and have achieved many breakthrough results.

Immediately after signing the agreement with the Vietnamese Government, Nvidia immediately implemented related tasks such as recruiting people, perfecting the leadership apparatus, and consolidating and attracting domestic and foreign talents to work at the Research and Development Center. Previously, on December 5, the Vietnamese Government and Nvidia Corporation signed a cooperation agreement to establish a Research and Development Center and an AI Data Center in Vietnam. The agreement is considered an important "push" to help Vietnam make a technological leap forward in the coming time, while creating a large spillover effect, attracting the attention of other high-tech investors in the world, especially in the fields of AI and semiconductors. In addition, in the field of attracting semiconductor investment, Vietnam currently has 174 FDI projects in the semiconductor sector with a total registered capital of nearly 11.6 billion USD. The parties develop research centers, expand investment, business, and production in Vietnam. According to the Minister, this has created a great resonance and raised Vietnam's position in the region and the world, as a destination for high technology, semiconductor technology and artificial intelligence. There needs to be a breakthrough in growth. Directing at the meeting, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh clearly stated that digital transformation, green transformation, development of circular economy, smart economy, knowledge economy, sharing economy, and night-time economy are the goals and orientations of the world. 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 to policies promptly, appropriately and effectively, with the spirit of "keeping up, progressing together and surpassing". The head of the 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 particular, digital transformation is a major driving force that countries are focusing on and shifting towards, 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 breakthrough thinking about the position, role and importance of new growth drivers. Especially artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, cloud computing; perfecting institutions, prioritizing selected industries; developing infrastructure, including electricity infrastructure; training human resources. 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". The Government leader noted that digital transformation is very broad, but the core is researching and developing artificial intelligence based on 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.

Previously, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh signed Decision No. 791 on the establishment of the National Steering Committee for the Development of the Semiconductor Industry. The Steering Committee is an inter-sectoral coordination organization, with the function of assisting the Government and the Prime Minister in researching, directing, and coordinating the resolution of important, inter-sectoral tasks related to promoting the development of the semiconductor industry in Vietnam. The Steering Committee is responsible for researching, advising, recommending, and proposing directions and solutions to promote the development of the semiconductor industry in Vietnam; directing and coordinating between ministries, ministerial-level agencies, government agencies, and relevant agencies and organizations to promote the development of the semiconductor industry in Vietnam.
