The 2nd Vietnam Semiconductor Strategy Summit which opens on September17 brings together executives of the world's leading microelectronicscompanies, with delegates representing Vietnamese Government, academia,research and industry.
They will discuss the key strategies, challenges and opportunities facing the Vietnam semiconductor industry.
Theevent, which brings together key decision-makers shaping the future ofthe industry in Vietnam, will help forge connections and relationshipsthat will drive growth over the next decade and beyond.
Vietnam remains committed to entering the global microelectronics world, moving beyond the back-end, organisers have said.
Whilethe first Summit provided a platform to discuss the need for a localsupply chain, workforce development, R&D collaboration andintellectual property protection, many challenges still remain as thefab project nears the approval stage.
From water supplyinfrastructure to device design, this year's SEMI Vietnam SemiconductorStrategy Summit will feature discussions vital to the future of theindustry.
At a press conference held on September 16, Kai Fai Ng,of SEMI Southeast Asia, said the Vietnamese Government was introducingnew initiatives to develop the semiconductor industry as a nationalstrategic priority, and was poised to make significant strategicinvestment in developing a domestic semiconductor supply chain.
Organisingthe event in Ho Chi Minh City is a clear indication that Vietnam playsan increasingly important role in the global semiconductor industry.
Thesummit is organised by Semiconductor Equipment and MaterialsInternational in collaboration with Sai Gon Hi-tech Park and Ho Chi MinhCity Semiconductor Industry Association.
Le Hoai Quoc, presidentof SHTP, said microelectronics was one of several priority developmentfields of SHTP and Ho Chi Minh City.
To call for investment inthe field, SHTP has offered many programmes to support businesses, to besupported with preferential-interest loans not exceeding 100 billionVND (4.76 million USD) for each project.
Quoc said SHTP would askHo Chi Minh City to increase the loan value in the future, explainingthat at least 200 million USD would be needed to open a microchipfactory.
In 2012, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committeeapproved a programme to develop the microelectronic industry in the2012-2020 period under Decision No 6358/QD-UBND.
The ambitiousprogramme includes training for microelectronic design, businessincubation strategies, founding of a design house and construction ofmicroelectronic manufacturing factories.
SHTP contributes animportant role in the city's microelectronic development strategy. Ithas been assigned the important duty of incubating businesses, whichwill help further growth of the industry.
The first microelectronic factory invested in by the Sai Gon Industrial Corporation will be built at SHTP.-VNA
