Vietnam aims to increase its pool of semiconductor engineers from 5,000 to 20,000 by 2026 to attract foreign investors and become a semiconductor hub.

Vietnam, aiming to become a semiconductor hub, is training Gen-Z students like Nguyen Phuong Linh to attract foreign investors looking to diversify semiconductor production. Long considered a low-cost production destination for clothes and shoes, Vietnam is now focusing on computer chips for its development. However, the country faces a significant hurdle: a shortage of highly skilled engineers. Vietnam's government aims to expand its pool of semiconductor engineers from 5,000 to 20,000 within the next five years.
