The global IC design industry alone in 2022 will have a total revenue of about 215 billion USD (one of four industries in the world semiconductor IC supply chain). The global semiconductor chip market is also shifting due to the volatile situation in many countries. Vietnam is a destination for international semiconductor chip manufacturing corporations.
So it can be said that Vietnam is entering this market with the race starting from design research and human resource training. In Ho Chi Minh City, the situation is even more exciting as there are many universities participating in recruiting and training human resources, along with the fact that the local government has also had a new awareness and is building a development strategy. industry development.
In that context, the Ho Chi Minh City Semiconductor Circuit Industry Association (abbreviated as HSIA) also officially stepped in with the role of connecting supply and demand in developing human resources, connecting markets, and accessing With the latest scientific and technical advances in the industry…
Prepare human resource development workshop
On the afternoon of August 11, Ho Chi Minh City Semiconductor Circuit Industry Association (HSIA) and Kendo Company visited and worked with leaders of the University of Sciences (Ho Chi Minh City National University) on the possibility of cooperation.
On HSIA's side, there was Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan - Chairman of HSIA; Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Dao - Chairman and General Director of Kendo Company; Mr. Nguyen Van Hieu - Deputy Head of Science and Technology Department of Vietnam National University (VNU) Ho Chi Minh City; Mr. Ho Thanh Binh - Director of Information Technology - DHA Group and Secretary General of HSIA; Ms. Van Thi Minh Hoa - Deputy Secretary General and Deputy Head of HSIA Communications Department.
Representative of Ho Chi Minh City Semiconductor Circuit Industry Association (HSIA) and Kendo Company
Teachers representing the University of Sciences, Vietnam National University-HCM
From Ho Chi Minh City University of Sciences, there was Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Le Quan - Principal of the school; Mr. Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Van Man - Head of Department of Science and Technology; Dr. Vo Hong Hai - Head of Foreign Relations Department; Associate Professor, Dr. Huynh Van Tuan - Head of the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics; Dr. Le Duc Hung - Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunications; Associate Professor, Dr. Vu Thi Hanh Thu - Faculty of Physics and Engineering Physics; and many specialized doctorates are teaching at the school.
This is the second working session in a short period of time for the two sides to explore student training needs related to the semiconductor chip industry, preparing for the next major activity expected to take place on January 22. September 2023, Workshop "Current status and solutions in human resource training and research and implementation in the field of Semiconductor Circuits in Vietnam with a vision to 2045", organized by HSIA Association and Ho Chi Minh City University of Sciences coordinated with Vietnam Young Business Association, TTC Group, Synopsys Company... to implement.
Also on this occasion, after learning about the actual situation of enrollment and teaching in the field of Semiconductor Circuits at the University of Natural Sciences, it is known that the current teaching and learning equipment, especially laboratory machinery, is experience, is still very lacking. Faced with this situation, with the advice and support of the HSIA Association, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Dao - Chairman and General Director of Kendo Group, agreed to arrange to donate some machinery and equipment to the school to give students the opportunity to Internship - experiment worth many billions of dong...
Clearly define goals to avoid wasting national resources
The goal of the workshop is to serve the project of developing semiconductor chip human resources in the Ho Chi Minh City IC industry development program for the period 2017 - 2020, with a vision to 2030 according to Decision No. 4022/ Decision-UBND dated July 28, 2017 of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee.
At the same time, gradually implement the Cooperation Program between Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee and Ho Chi Minh City National University for the period 2022-2026 and propose the Government to develop a Strategy for developing Vietnam's semiconductor chip industry with a vision to 2045.
In the global thirst that is exciting the Semiconductor Circuit market as well as the level of thirst for human resources in the world, many experts have identified that this is not a thirst specific to Vietnam but a global one.
In addition, the world's semiconductor chip supply chain can be divided into four groups: chip design, chip production, chip packaging - testing and equipment manufacturing. Vietnam can only participate in the design stage with total global revenue in this stage reaching about 215 billion USD in 2022.
However, human resources to participate in this stage are currently very limited. Currently, Ho Chi Minh City has dozens of 100% foreign-owned companies operating in the field of IC design from Japan, America, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore... with more than 5,000 engineers and experts. about circuit design.
Statistics show that the Vietnamese IC community nationwide currently has over 40 companies and businesses specializing in IC design, of which in Ho Chi Minh City there are more than 30 companies, and will increase in the near future. . The movement of IC design companies around the world to Vietnam, especially in Ho Chi Minh City, is increasing, leading to a need for a large human resource supply in the market.
Faced with this situation, Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan - Chairman of HSIA, said that the microchip industry is a high-tech industry that brings a lot of added value, a foundation to support and promote the development of other industries. other industries, contributing to promoting in-depth economic development.
“Microchips have been identified by the Government as one of nine national products. Product development of the IC industry is an important way to transform scientific and technological achievements into commercial goods with high added value," said Nguyen Anh Tuan.
Therefore, the task of the Workshop: "Current status and solutions in human resource training and research and implementation in the field of semiconductor ICs in Vietnam with a vision to 2045" this time needs to evaluate the situation of research, of research, training and Vietnam's current need for human resources in semiconductor ICs; discuss and propose updates to the semiconductor IC training program according to social needs, so as not to waste national resources.
As for Associate Professor, Dr. Huynh Van Tuan - Head of the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics at the University of Sciences - Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City, who directly coordinated to prepare the content and organize this conference, affirmed: "At this conference, a number of international school/institute/business partners will also be identified to support the development of the semiconductor chip industry, MEMS, and electronic components for Vietnam's vision 2045, from there Proposing the Government to invest in and build a number of shared laboratories and research and deploy tasks on semiconductor microchips.
He also said to build and develop research and development groups of schools/institutes and businesses on semiconductor ICs towards national products. In the immediate future, we will focus on human resource training to meet the needs of developing the the semiconductor chip design field, one of the world's four supply chain fields.
