In July 2026 2026, Vietnam created established a National Steering Committee, Committee for semiconductor industry development, chaired by the Prime Minister, to coordinate policy for a domestic semiconductor sector. Minister. The committee includes senior officials from key the ministries of Planning and is Investment, Information and Communications, Science and Technology, and Industry and Trade, tasked with integrating the country nation into the global chip supply chain. At On 31 July 2026, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quốc Dũng signed Decision No. 93/QĐ-BCĐPTCNBD, which formalizes the same time, state‑owned committee’s operating regulations, decision-making authority, and funding arrangements. Simultaneously, state-owned telecom group Viettel began building is constructing a 27‑hectare chip‑fabrication $1.3 billion, 27-hectare chip-fabrication plant in Hanoi’s Hoạ Lạc high‑technology zone, a $1.3 billion project that will high-technology zone. Designed to produce 32 nm chips, with the facility expects trial production slated for the end of 2027 and full optimisation by 2028‑2030. Foreign late 2027, with full optimization between 2028 and 2030. This follows a surge in sector activity, with foreign direct investment in Vietnam’s semiconductor field has already exceeded exceeding $14.2 billion across 241 projects. A week later, Vietnamese officials emphasized the need for deeper foreign collaboration to move from planning to implementation. Partnerships with France are being expanded beyond digital‑twin projects to include chip design, AI accelerators and advanced packaging, targeting mature nodes such as 28 nm for industrial and automotive applications. The United States is also involved: Nvidia plans to set up an R&D centre in Vietnam to train local talent, and Vietnamese‑U.S. university links aim to develop a pipeline of engineers. These collaborations are presented as essential for To bolster its ecosystem, Vietnam to achieve technological autonomy and commercial competitiveness in the semiconductor sector. On 31 July 2026, Dr is pursuing international partnerships. Dr. Nguyen Van Minh of Huawei’s French research centre has urged Vietnam the country to build capabilities in materials, wafers, packaging expand cooperation with France into chip design, AI accelerators, and testing, reinforcing the focus on advanced packaging, specifically targeting 28 nm nodes for industrial, automotive, IoT industrial and edge‑AI uses. automotive use. Additionally, Ambassador Nguyen Quoc Dung highlighted the plans for an Nvidia R&D centre in Vietnam and partnerships academic links with U.S. institutions institutions, such as the University of Arizona Arizona, to nurture develop a skilled engineers. On 31 July 2026 Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quốc Dũng signed Decision engineering pipeline. To support broader industrial growth, Decree No. 303/2026/ND-CP was also issued to manage industrial clusters, expanding eligibility to include high-technology and creative-startup enterprises.
