This is one of the goals in the plan to implement the Vietnam Semiconductor Industry Development Strategy and the Semiconductor Industry Human Resource Development Program to 2030, with a vision to 2050, recently issued by the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee.
Ho Chi Minh City will focus on core semiconductor and digital technology industries such as artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, internet of things (IoT), big data, blockchain with the goal of becoming the leading semiconductor industry center in the region and internationally.
To develop infrastructure and facilities, Ho Chi Minh City will invest or mobilize socialized resources and other legal capital sources to invest in and upgrade research centers and laboratories in a modern direction, focusing on core areas of the semiconductor industry such as microchip design, semiconductor materials, and manufacturing technology for training.

Ho Chi Minh City will also build a high-performance computing center at Quang Trung Software Park; expand the High-Tech Park, develop it into a science and technology park; and build a national shared semiconductor laboratory investment project at Ho Chi Minh City National University.
The above tasks will be carried out in the period of 2026 - 2030, with the specific goals of investing in and upgrading at least 1 center and laboratory; attracting at least 20 investment projects; and putting into operation a national shared semiconductor laboratory.
Regarding the group of specific mechanisms and policies, Ho Chi Minh City coordinates with the Ministry of Finance to research and propose the development of specific mechanisms and policies on investment incentives, resource mobilization, use of state budget, public assets, mechanisms for sharing laboratories, attracting experts and talents, etc.
At the same time, coordinate with the Ministry of Science and Technology to build a database on Vietnam's semiconductor industry; coordinate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to complete a database on Vietnamese experts and intellectuals abroad in the semiconductor industry.

Where are more than 9,000 semiconductor industry workers trained?
In the group of human resource training and development, in the period of 2026 - 2030, Ho Chi Minh City will train 9,350 human resources with university degrees or higher in the core semiconductor and digital technology industries.
Human resources are trained at Ho Chi Minh City National University (at least 6,200 people, including 2,600 people related to microchip design and 3,600 people related to semiconductor technology); Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry (1,400 people); Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education (1,400 people) and Saigon University (350 people).
In addition, Ho Chi Minh City also aims to provide in-depth training and improve the skills of at least 1,500 employees for semiconductor industry companies; attract at least 30 experts and scientists working in the field of semiconductor technology to participate in training and scientific research at schools and institutes in the area; and organize at least 1 international conference and seminar on microchips and semiconductors every year.

In the plan, Ho Chi Minh City also builds a roadmap to develop the Research and Development Center - High-Tech Park into an international standard research center in the semiconductor industry; at least 10 R&D (research and development) projects are implemented, creating 20 prototype products.
Regarding the development of the startup and innovation ecosystem, this year the infrastructure and operation of incubation centers (Creative Startup Center and High-tech Business Incubator) will be completed. In the period of 2026 - 2030, at least 60 startups in the semiconductor industry and core digital technology will be supported.
