The launch is obvious proof of the federal government’s dedication to concretising Resolution 29-NQ/TW, and Resolution 57-NQ/TW, aiming to improve technological self-reliance step by step, making Vietnam an necessary hyperlink within the world semiconductor provide chain, in keeping with the objectives of the Strategy for the Development of Vietnam’s Semiconductor Industry to 2030, with a imaginative and prescient to 2050, and making Vietnam one of many few Southeast Asian nations with national-level infrastructure supporting chip prototyping.
Speaking on the ceremony, Minister of Science and Technology Vu Hai Quan said that the draft amendments to the legislation on excessive know-how and the system of guiding paperwork have been accomplished. The semiconductor trade and strategic applied sciences are at present receiving excessive precedence.
The launch demonstrates a powerful dedication from the regulatory authorities: a speedy transformation from a authorized framework to sensible infrastructure. Essentially, all the mandatory circumstances for the semiconductor trade to take off are actually obtainable.
The centre is predicted to assist shorten product growth time, scale back prototyping prices, and promote the emergence of Vietnamese-made chip merchandise.
Sharing his ideas on the importance of the occasion, Nguyen Khac Lich, director common of the MST’s Authority of ICT Industry, stated, “In the digital age, semiconductor chips are the foundation of strategic technologies such as AI, 5G, robotics, and electric vehicles. These are not just electronic components, but also a measure of a nation’s strategic self-reliance.”
Lich said that the most important hindrance at present is the flexibility to realise design ideas into precise merchandise. “The centre will be a crucial link, helping ideas remain at the drawings or simulation stage in the laboratory, but also take the decisive step to become real chip products, which are tested, refined, and gradually brought to market.”
The centre is underneath the Authority of ICT, having the function to present shared infrastructure to help the whole course of from design, trial manufacturing, packaging, testing to commercialisation of merchandise.
The centre supplies design instruments, help for design appraisal and verification; appearing as a connection level with chip manufacturing factories, packaging and testing models, and worldwide know-how companions to organise trial manufacturing for universities, research institutes and home companies.

After trial manufacturing, the centre helps chip high quality evaluation, connecting with authorities help programmes and funding funds to promote product commercialisation. In the longer term, it can step by step construct a post-manufacturing analysis, testing, and evaluation laboratory (Post-Silicon Lab).
The centre will probably be developed in three phases. In the 2026-2027 part, the state will help 100 per cent of the pilot manufacturing prices to encourage universities, research institutes, companies, and design teams to take part within the research, growth, and testing of semiconductor chip merchandise, whereas step by step constructing the operational capability of the Multi-Project Wafer mannequin in Vietnam.
During the interval of 2028-2030, the centre will proceed to obtain partial help for pilot manufacturing prices, whereas concurrently enhancing shared infrastructure, laboratory techniques, design instruments, testing environments, and specialised technical help companies, contributing to enhanced design high quality and product commercialisation potential.
From 2030 onwards, the centre goals to grasp superior applied sciences, broaden worldwide cooperation, and step by step develop into a good semiconductor chip prototyping help centre in Southeast Asia, contributing to enhancing Vietnam’s place within the regional and world semiconductor worth chain.
At the launch ceremony, consultant of the centre signed memoranda of cooperation with 19 home and worldwide companions. Notably, these included main know-how companies within the world semiconductor provide chain akin to Intel, Infineon, Amkor, Cadence, and Synopsys; manufacturing service suppliers from main world foundries like TSMC and Global Foundries; main Vietnamese universities such because the Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam National University Hanoi, and Hanoi University of Science and Technology; and home know-how companies and enterprises akin to Viettel, FPT, and VSAP Lab.
The agreements deal with research, coaching of high-quality employees, supporting chip design, prototyping, packaging, and testing; sharing technical infrastructure; and connecting consultants and companies with coaching and research establishments, contributing to the formation of a community linking the state, companies, research institutes, and universities.
Also throughout the framework of the occasion, the centre introduced the institution of knowledgeable advisory workforce with the participation of 21 respected consultants within the semiconductor trade from know-how companies, universities, and research institutes each domestically and internationally to help strategic growth planning and in-depth technical experience for the centre and universities, research institutes, and companies in Vietnam.
