The National Innovation Center (NIC), in collaboration with the Vietnamese Embassy in South Korea and the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI), organized a forum on investment in Vietnam and a series of networking activities within the framework of SEMICON Korea 2025 in Seoul on February 20.

This event marks the first time a specialized semiconductor forum focused on Vietnam has been held in South Korea, aiming to expand opportunities for investment and training cooperation between the two countries. The goal is to gradually form a more diverse and complete semiconductor ecosystem in Vietnam.

The forum took  place against the backdrop of the increasingly strengthened Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Vietnam and South Korea and highlighted Vietnam's emergence as an attractive destination for semiconductor investment, particularly in the fields of design, human resources, and back-end testing.

The event attracted special attention from more than 150 delegates from leading corporations, businesses, and universities in South Korea and internationally, including ARM, SK, Samsung, Hana Micron, and Seoul National University.

Additionally, the event saw participation from major Vietnamese players in the high-tech industry such as Sovico, FPT Semiconductor, Viettel Semiconductor, CT Semiconductor, Viglacera, DEEP C, Hyphen Deux, Infrasen, SmartOSC, as well as prestigious universities such as Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Vietnamese-German University, and the Management Board of Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park.
