The Vietnam Semiconductor Innovation Centre (VSIC) and the FPT-AICHIP semiconductor startup incubation space debuted in Hanoi on March 28.

The facilities were established by Alchip Technologies – the No.1 semiconductor group in Taiwan, in collaboration with the National Innovation Centre (NIC), FPT Semiconductor and other partners.

The VSIC and FPT-AICHIP will provide a venue to support and connect Vietnamese startups in the semiconductor sector. It also serves as a platform for universities, research institutes, and businesses, both domestic and international, to work together in developing the future human resources required for the semiconductor industry.

The launch of the VSIC shows a key commitment from FPT Corporation, NIC, and their partners to establish a sustainable semiconductor ecosystem in Vietnam, positioning the country as an attractive destination in this strategic industry. The center will support resource gathering, high-quality human resource training, and startup development in the semiconductor sector. It is expected to help Vietnam integrate further into the global semiconductor value chain and become a regional hub for technology and innovation.

Addressing the event, Mr. Peter Teng, Vice President of Alchip Technologies Limited, said the event was not simply the opening of a new office but a gateway to unlocking potential, presenting an opportunity to connect with Vietnam’s excellent technical talent.

This was also an important step on the pathway to develop Vietnam into a global semiconductor center, he said.
