HCM City (VNA) - Ho Chi Minh City'sSaigon Hi-Tech Park (SHTP) and Siemens Electronic Design Automation (SiemensEDA), a segment of Siemens Digital Industries Software, on February 27 signed amemorandum of understanding (MoU) on cooperation in personnel training in thesemiconductor chip industry in Vietnam.

The deal is based on advantages and expertise of theSHTP in personnel training in the industry, and the strengths of Siemens in softwaredesign, with collaboration activities to start this year.

Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Anh Thi, head of the SHTPManagement Board, expressed his belief that the MoU will create opportunitiesfor trainees to approach cutting-edge technologies in the design and verification of semiconductor IC designs, while building up experience in the high-tech sector.

SHTP sees personnel training as one of its key activities towardsmaterialising the city’s target of developing the semiconductor chip industry,and turning itself into a science - technology and innovation urban area, and a new growth engine of the Southeastern region and the country atlarge, he added.

Established in 2002, SHTP currently has morethan 162 valid investment projects, including many by multinationalcorporations.

Meanwhile, Siemens EDA delivers the world's mostcomprehensive portfolio of electronic design automation (EDA) software,hardware and services./.
