Significant opportunities for the development of AI and semiconductor industries in Vietnam

AISC is an important international event on the combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductors, providing opportunities to access the latest information, connect cross-border businesses and affirm Vietnam's role in the global semiconductor and artificial intelligence industry value chain.

For the first time, more than 1,000 leaders and experts with the participation of big names such as Google, NVIDIA, IBM, Meta, Intel, TSMC, Samsung, MediaTek, Tokyo Electron, Panasonic, Qorvo, Marvell and technology corporations from Silicon Valley (USA) gathered at AISC 2025, affirming Vietnam's position in the global AI and semiconductor industry.

In his opening speech, Mr. Vu Quoc Huy - Director of the National Innovation Center emphasized: The International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Semiconductors is a forum for academic exchange, an opportunity for Vietnam to affirm its position in the regional technology race. This event will help domestic enterprises orient their development strategies, improve their innovation capacity and promote the sustainable development of the high-tech industry.

Mr. Vu Quoc Huy also said that Vietnam is one of the fastest growing digital economies in Southeast Asia, benefiting from its strategic location, skilled workforce and modern infrastructure. Along with that is the support of the Government and an open investment environment. These factors position Vietnam as an emerging hub for global technology corporations.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Dr. Christopher Nguyen - founder of Aitomatic Company shared: "AISC 2025 affirms the attractiveness of Vietnam as a strategic destination in the high-tech field. The efforts of the Vietnamese Government in promoting the development of AI and the semiconductor industry are showing the right direction, in line with the shifting trend of the global technology value chain".

According to Dr. Christopher Nguyen, the combination of national vision and international investment needs of developed economies such as the US, Japan, South Korea, etc. creates great attraction for AISC this year, opening up many important opportunities for the development of the AI ​​and semiconductor industry in Vietnam.

At the AISC Conference, SemiKong – an open-source AI model – was also introduced to the Vietnamese technology community. This pioneering model helps optimize chip production, a collaboration between Aitomatic (USA), Tokyo Electron (Japan) and FPT Software (Vietnam). SemiKong was born in the context of increasing demand for open-source AI platforms, playing an important role in improving speed, accuracy and productivity for high-tech manufacturing sectors. The announcement of this platform in Vietnam marks an important step forward in the ability of domestic enterprises to master technology, opening up opportunities for Vietnam to participate more deeply in the global semiconductor manufacturing value chain.

The AISC 2025 conference also focused on discussing emerging technology trends in AI and semiconductors, including revolutionizing chip design and manufacturing, the potential of advanced semiconductor architectures, and strategic policies to enhance global cooperation…

The AISC 2025 Conference Program will take place from March 12 to 16 in Hanoi and Da Nang with main activities including: Seminar sessions on "The semiconductor technology revolution - artificial intelligence in Silicon Valley" and "The convergence of semiconductors and artificial intelligence: Breakthrough factors creating a new cycle of opportunities"; exhibitions, investment and business connections...

Notably, the Policy Forum “Vietnam proactively develops the semiconductor and artificial intelligence industry in the new era” will take place in Hanoi on March 14, with Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh expected to chair the Forum.
