The core mission of Samsung Vietnam R&D Center is to contribute to laying the foundation for Vietnamese technology talents. In addition, Samsung hopes to actively contribute to the development of the hardware (H/W) and software (S/W) fields in line with the advanced information technology field and the industrial revolution 4.0.
