    [HO CHI MINH CITY] The Vietnamese government has just approved a national programme to realise its goal of training 50,000 semiconductor engineers and workers with bachelor’s degrees by the end of this decade.

    The programme, effective from Sep 21, is one of several measures being developed by the South-east Asian country to further participate in global chip supply chains, which have become increasingly diversified amid the intense China-US tech war.

    The state will provide funding to assist in the investment, construction, upgrade and modernisation of four national semiconductor laboratories by 2030. The shared facilities are located at the Vietnam National Innovation Centre and universities in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang – the three tech hubs of the country.
