“Vietnam has made another stride toward accelerating its semiconductor industry by establishing the Vietnam National Multi-Project Wafer Coordination Center (VNMPW/CC) under the Department of Information Technology (DIT).”
“Vietnam currently has over 7,000 integrated circuit design engineers skilled in packaging, testing, materials, and semiconductor equipment. Throughout 2025, the country has increased its number of semiconductor design engineers by nearly 1,000, mainly by upskilling engineers from related fields.”
“Private sector progress in Vietnam’s semiconductor industry has begun to materialize. In late December 2025, Vietnam’s FPT Corporation exported its first batch of commercially produced semiconductor chips to a Japanese electronics distributor under a multi-year contract. This shipment marks a tangible milestone for Vietnamese chip design exports and positions domestically developed intellectual property for broader markets across the Asia-Pacific region.”

“The report said that the Vietnamese government has elevated the semiconductor sector to a national priority through Strategy 1018, which mandates the training of 50,000 to 100,000 engineers by 2030. As of the 2025 admissions cycle, over 137,000 students were already enrolled in related fields.”
