United Kingdom announces cutting-edge equipment for semiconductor development
Vietnam has set a bold goal to train 50,000 semiconductor engineers as part of its national semiconductor strategy, and the UK is set to play a significant role in this endeavour. The UK, with its deep talent pool and a long history in the semiconductor industry, offers a wealth of knowledge and resources to help Vietnam achieve its ambitions.
The UK's modern industrial strategy includes eight key areas for future economic development, with AI, health technology, and semiconductors among them. This strategic alignment presents a wider scope for potential technological advancements, as collaboration between the UK and Vietnam extends beyond semiconductors into industries like health technology and fintech.
The success of this collaboration was evident at the second UK Southeast Asia Tech Week in Ho Chi Minh City, where the potential for AI collaboration was demonstrated. UK institutions like Arm have programs such as the Clemson Access Programme, which provides academic institutions and universities with tools and training for semiconductor professionals.
UK universities and research institutions collaborate with Vietnamese companies like CMC Group and CT Group to support technology transfer, workforce training, and R&D in fintech, AI, and semiconductors. Initiatives include strategic cooperations with Vietnamese universities and technology departments, and events like the Vietnam–UK Semiconductor Forum 2025.
The UK can assist Vietnam in building capacity, talent, and infrastructure for semiconductor innovation by offering technical and professional skills, academic courses, and training programs. However, Vietnam needs to establish the right policy framework to attract and retain investment and develop the necessary skills for a long-term future in the semiconductor industry.
The geographic location, access to natural resources, and supply chains in Vietnam offer benefits for setting up and developing a semiconductor industry. The potential for the semiconductor industry in Vietnam is competitive globally, with many countries aiming to operate in semiconductor manufacturing, testing, and packaging, as well as capacity building and training.
Vietnam's young, talented, and energetic population presents a strong foundation for building the semiconductor industry in the future. The British Ambassador to Vietnam, Iain Frew, participated in a workshop at the National Innovation Centre in Hanoi on the semiconductor industry, emphasising the importance of collaboration between universities and businesses.
Missions and forums like the one held in Hanoi are a good way for Vietnamese companies to share expertise and find opportunities with UK counterparts. Vietnamese businesses are advised to visit the UK, meet academic institutions, and explore opportunities for training and upskilling in the semiconductor industry. Collaboration between British companies and universities is seen as a great opportunity for building the next generation of semiconductor talent.
The UK has a new national semiconductor center, and Vietnamese businesses are encouraged to build relationships with UK academic institutions and commercial partners. The success of the semiconductor industry in Vietnam depends on the implementation of supportive government policies and programs, as well as collaboration with universities and businesses. The UK delegation included UK technology and semiconductor companies like Arm, University of Liverpool, Oxford Instruments, and others, demonstrating the mutual benefits of this collaboration.
In conclusion, the UK-Vietnam collaboration presents a significant opportunity for both countries to share and synthesize talents into new businesses, new ideas, and new collaborations in the semiconductor industry. With the right policies and collaborations in place, Vietnam can establish itself as a global player in the semiconductor industry.
