Samsung and the National Innovation Centre (NIC) kicked off the Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC) in Hoa Lac Hi-tech Park on May 3, with six training courses for 200 students.

The courses include two courses about AI, two about the Internet of Things and two other courses about big data for Vietnam National University (VNU) students in Hanoi. The courses will run between May and August this year.

"The Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) greatly appreciates the determination and efforts of Samsung and NIC in fostering innovation," said Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc, Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment.

Samsung will also organise training courses for teachers and lecturers, designed with the help of experts from Samsung and large universities across the country.

Choi Joo Ho, general director of Samsung Vietnam, said, "The investment environment of Vietnam opens up many opportunities for local young people to become talents in technology."

"I believe that the Samsung Innovation Campus will become a model for other training programmes," he added.

In recent times, Vietnam has completed the legal corridor to create conditions prioritising investment and development of semiconductor chips. The Law on Investment and the Law on Corporate Income Tax have added special incentives for high-tech and large-scale projects, including chip production ones.

Chip industry taking on new players

Domestic and foreign investors alike are supporting Vietnam’s semiconductor strategy by making numerous commitments to invest in chip manufacturing.

Localities on first step towards training microchip labour force

A number of localities are coordinating with manufacturers to train workers for the semiconductor industry, mostly in the basic stages of assembly and testing.
