Hanoi (VNA) - In the near future, Vietnam will become a reliablepartner and an important link in the global semiconductor manufacturing andsupply chains, according to Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung.

The semiconductor industry is of strategic importance globally and Vietnam is participating morestrongly in the regional and global semiconductor ecosystems.

The Foreign Investment Agency under theMinistry of Planning and Investment said that foreign direct investment (FDI)into Vietnam reached more than 25.7 billion USD in the first 10 months of thisyear, up 14.7% year-on-year.

In its report ASEAN Perspectives releasedon September 12, HSBC economists assessed that despite severe trade challenges,Vietnam continues to be on the frontline to receive quality FDI.

The report also assessed that Singapore,Malaysia, and Vietnam are three outperformers in the tech industry.

Many technology groups have made their markon investment activities in Vietnam. According to HSBC, half of Samsung'sglobal smartphone output comes from Vietnam. This has also encouraged othertech giants, especially Apple, to expand their operations.

Do Van Su, Deputy Director of the ForeignInvestment Agency, said that there is a shift of capital from North Americaninvestors to Vietnam. To date, US-based Apple has completed the transfer of 11audio-visual equipment factories to the Southeast Asian nation. Apple'sfamiliar partners in Vietnam, namely Foxconn, Luxshare and Goertek, have alsoincreased capital and expanded factories in the country.

Recently, the US’s Semiconductor IndustryAssociation and many businesses came to Vietnam to explore the investmentenvironment as a location for shifting chip production.

According to economists, with thecooperation of US technology enterprises, Vietnam will be able to exploit andproduce semiconductors on a larger scale next year.

Vu Tu Thanh, Deputy Regional ManagingDirector and Vietnam Representative for the US-ASEAN Business Council (USABC),said that the US is interested in the fields where Vietnam can participate inthe global supply and value chains such as automobile and semiconductor manufacturing,and currently many US companies are continuing to accelerate the supply chain shift to Vietnam.

Linda Tan, president of SEMI SEA, aregional association serving the manufacturing supply chains for themicroelectronic, display and photovoltaic industries, said that Vietnam'ssemiconductor industry is also on a path of development with significantpotential and advantages. The country has been increasingly attracting majorsemiconductor corporations from the Republic of Korea, Taiwan (China), and theUS.

According to her, US President Joe Biden'svisit to the country in September and the jointly announced upgrade ofbilateral relations to a comprehensive strategy was a demonstration of the USand Vietnam's cooperation in innovation and development of the semiconductorindustry as their highest priorities.

At the ongoing sixth plenary session of the15th National Assembly, in a report on the goals and targets ofVietnam's economy in 2023, 2024 and the following years, Prime Minister PhamMinh Chinh emphasised the development of several key industries that Vietnam isaiming for, including the processing, manufacturing, and semiconductorindustries.

According to Minister Dung,Vietnam has a wealth of potential, opportunities and all the necessaryconditions and factors to develop the semiconductor ecosystem./.
