FPT welcomes delegation from the United States National Defense University, opening opportunities to strengthen U.S.-Vietnam collaboration in the semiconductor value chain in Southeast Asia

On April 11, 2025, FPT had the honor of hosting a delegation from the National Defense University (NDU) of the United States. The delegation included representatives from the U.S. Embassy in Vietnam and 15 master’s degree students from the Eisenhower School. These students are currently serving in various branches of the U.S. Department of Defense, including the Air Force, Army, and Navy.

During the visit, the NDU delegation toured the FPT Tower and the Vietnam Semiconductor Innovation Center (VSIC), one of FPT’s key initiatives in collaboration with the National Innovation Center (NIC). Here, the delegation was introduced to the “FPT Chip Inside” ecosystem, which includes products such as Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMIC), the FPT Access Control System (FAS), along with other applications developed by FPT’s semiconductor engineering team.

In the 2025 academic year, the Eisenhower School is conducting in-depth research on the microelectronics industry to evaluate national security strategies and the use of U.S. resources, viewed through the lens of the semiconductor sector—a critical foundation in microelectronics technology that enables the development of advanced technologies, systems, and devices essential to the U.S. economy, national defense, and security.

This visit marks an important step forward in fostering bilateral cooperation between Vietnam and the United States in science and technology. It also underscores the strategic importance of the semiconductor industry in ensuring economic and national defense security in the digital era.
