The plan aims to effectively implement the "Vietnam Semiconductor Industry Development Strategy to 2030 with a Vision to 2050" and the program on "Developing Human Resources for the Semiconductor Industry to 2030 with a Vision to 2050."
By 2030, Hanoi aims to become the leading semiconductor development hub in northern Vietnam, serving as one of the country's top centers for semiconductor research and development and workforce training, while also playing a leading role in piloting training models, public-private partnerships, university-industry collaboration, and shared infrastructure utilization based on international experience and adapted to Vietnam's conditions.
The city plans to develop a highly qualified semiconductor workforce, focusing on chip design, semiconductor packaging, and testing, while gradually mastering semiconductor manufacturing technologies. Hanoi targets training at least 22,000 university-level and postgraduate professionals for the semiconductor industry.
Specifically, the city will establish at least one International Technology University in the Hoa Lac High-Tech Park, with priority given to microelectronics and semiconductor integrated circuits. The university will integrate education with research, practical training, and business partnerships.
Hanoi also plans to establish a data and semiconductor research and development (R&D) center in Hoa Lac High-Tech Park, a semiconductor technician training center at Hanoi High Technology College, and a semiconductor workforce training program beginning at the secondary education level to support long-term industry development.
The city seeks to attract at least 20 new chip design companies and master the design technologies of selected specialized chips used in hardware and electronics products, including consumer electronics, home appliances, specialized electronics, and telecommunications equipment.
In addition, Hanoi aims to attract two advanced semiconductor packaging and testing investment projects, promote supporting industries for the semiconductor sector, gradually build a domestic supply chain ecosystem, and further develop Hoa Lac High-Tech Park to meet the requirements for attracting domestic and international investors in advanced semiconductor design, packaging, and testing projects.
The city also intends to position Hoa Lac High-Tech Park as a core component of Vietnam's semiconductor ecosystem and host at least one investment promotion and international cooperation event focused on the semiconductor industry.
Hanoi will continue to streamline administrative procedures, improve investment approval processes, and study financial support policies, including scholarships, tuition exemptions and reductions, and other incentives for students pursuing semiconductor-related disciplines.
The city will also strengthen intellectual property protection and enforcement for semiconductor products, designs, and technological solutions in accordance with intellectual property laws.
At least one International Technology University specializing in microelectronics and the semiconductor industry will be established in Hoa Lac High-Tech Park. A semiconductor technician training center will be developed at Hanoi High Technology College, along with an R&D center in Hoa Lac High-Tech Park to support education, research, testing, and technology development activities.
The city plans to coordinate research, development, technology transfer, and startup support resources while ensuring close cooperation among research institutes, universities, businesses, venture capital funds, trading platforms, and intermediary organizations. These efforts aim to accelerate the commercialization of research outcomes generated in the capital.
Hanoi will implement the project titled "Improving the Quality of Vocational Education in Hanoi for 2025-2030 with a Vision to 2035." The city will invest in high-quality vocational colleges, develop Hanoi High Technology College into a national center for advanced vocational training and practical education, and designate selected universities and colleges as regional centers for high-quality vocational training.
Several new high-tech parks and concentrated digital technology zones will be put into operation, with investment encouraged in semiconductor chip design and electronic device research and development, particularly next-generation electronic products integrated with specialized chips and AI chips.
The city will promote the sharing and joint use of laboratory facilities and R&D infrastructure, while supporting the development of a national shared semiconductor laboratory and institutional-level semiconductor laboratories under the national semiconductor workforce development program through 2030 and toward 2050.
Technology companies will be encouraged to expand investments to next-generation electronics manufacturing and prioritize semiconductor chips designed, manufactured, packaged, and tested in Vietnam.
Hanoi will also strengthen international cooperation to mobilize resources for semiconductor and develop the electronics industry, while expanding partnerships between local universities and colleges and leading semiconductor institutions in the United States, Japan, Taiwan (China), and other major semiconductor centers.
