The Ministry of Science and Technology’s Department of Information Technology Industry and the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology (PTIT) have recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with EVGroup, which is, with global headquarters in Austria, one of the world's leading providers of semiconductor manufacturing equipment specializing in wafer processing.

This milestone represents a significant advancement in Vietnam's efforts to foster its semiconductor industry while strengthening international collaboration in the high-tech sector—a field increasingly vital to the global digital economy.

The MoU outlines three core objectives:

First, advancing research and development in critical technologies such as nano-fabrication, 3D packaging, and MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems).

Second, establishing comprehensive training programs aimed at enhancing the technical expertise of students, engineers, and researchers in the semiconductor domain.

Third, executing practical projects to accelerate Vietnam's journey towards building a modern semiconductor manufacturing industry.

Mr. Nguyen Khac Lich, Director of the Department of Information Technology Industry, remarked: "With EVGroup's expertise and capabilities, coupled with policies that encourage investment in the domestic semiconductor sector, Vietnam is poised to achieve tangible and impactful outcomes in this field."
