Themed “Elevating Vietnam in the Global Semiconductor Supply Chain,” the event is organized by the Ministry of Planning and Investment's National Innovation Center (NIC) in collaboration with the Global Semiconductor Alliance (SEMI), according to NIC Director Vu Quoc Huy at a press briefing in Hanoi on October 23.

He said the event is the ministry's proactive step in implementing the tasks outlined in the government's Semiconductor Industry Development Strategy and Human Resources Development Program.

"The exhibition also aims to develop the ancillary industry ecosystem and attract investment from leading global semiconductor firms," Huy said.

Linda Tan, President, SEMI SEA, said that SEMIExpo Vietnam 2024 is a significant event for the country as it continues to emerge in the global semiconductor supply chain. She added that with strong government support and a focus on building a robust semiconductor ecosystem, Vietnam is poised to make significant contributions to the global supply chain.

“This event supports collaboration, innovation, and strategic partnerships. SEMI hopes to facilitate the next growth phase for the semiconductor industry in Vietnam and the broader Southeast Asia region,” she stressed.

Vo Xuan Hoai, Deputy Director of NIC estimated that SEMIEXPO Vietnam 2024, the first edition to date, is expected to attract around 5,000 delegates and feature 100 booths from major global semiconductor companies, including Global Foundries, Amkor, AMD, Lam Research, Coherent, Cadence, KLA, Synopsys, Intel, Marvell, Onsemi, Qorvo, and FPT.

Organizations and companies attending SEMIExpo Vietnam 2024 will gain insights into the latest global technology trends in the semiconductor sector, including AI applications in chip design, and engage in dialogue with government agencies to develop the industry's ecosystem and workforce.

Moreover, the event will focus on developing human resources and providing connections and scholarship information for students in the semiconductor field.
According to the Global Semiconductor Alliance, Vietnam's semiconductor market is expected to reach US$7 billion by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CARG) of approximately 6.7% from 2023 to 2028.
