Covering 13.5 hectares, the 270-million-USD factory will manufacture integrated circuits for Samsung and Apple.
It is expected to become operational in June 2022 and generate approximately 5,000 jobs.
Pledging to create the best conditions possible for the investors, Vinh Phuc authorities asked them to ensure the construction quality, prioritise employing local workers, transfer technology, and organise training courses for their employees, among others.
