As part of his official visit to Da Nang, Minister of Science and Technology Nguyen Manh Hung participated in a working session with the city’s Party Committee and attended the inauguration of the FAB-lab. The Minister’s working program at Da Nang Software Park No. 2 was held with the goal of fostering an innovation ecosystem in high-tech sectors, particularly semiconductors and artificial intelligence. Through field surveys, meetings with local leaders, and direct dialogue with the business community, especially startups, the program aimed to capture on-the-ground insights and gather policy recommendations aligned with practical needs.

During the visit, Minister Nguyen Manh hung attended the launch ceremony of a laboratory dedicated to advanced semiconductor packaging technologies (FAB-lab Project) – a key initiative under the national semiconductor industry development strategy outlined in Resolution No. 136/2024/QH15 by the National Assembly.

In his remarks at the ceremony, the Minister emphasized that packaging and testing are strategic links that will allow Vietnam to deepen its participation in the global semiconductor value chain. He highlighted the FAB-lab as a model of agile cooperation between the government and enterprises, with the lab serving as a center for innovation and experimentation. “The Ministry of Science and Technology is committed to supporting Da Nang in developing infrastructure for research and testing, and in connecting with both national and international programs in semiconductor packaging, design, and testing,” he stated.

At the FAB-lab inauguration, FPT showcased its VR Training solution for operating semiconductor manufacturing equipment in cleanrooms. This virtual reality-based training initiative is designed to enhance learning efficiency and support the development of a high-quality workforce (technicians and researchers) for Vietnam’s semiconductor industry.

Just as with the story of software exports 20 years ago – when, through strong leadership and the determination of passionate technologists, FPT successfully helped position Vietnam as a global leader in software outsourcing – the next 20 years will be about turning the dream of AI and semiconductors into reality, together with Da Nang. The immediate goal is to design high-quality, Make in Vietnam chips that can compete on equal footing with global players – something FPT is already actively pursuing. In the coming years, FPT aims to bring the entire chip testing and manufacturing process to Da Nang in particular, and to Vietnam more broadly.

With Da Nang’s unique advantages – well-developed infrastructure, a skilled workforce, and the presence of overseas Vietnamese experts returning from Silicon Valley, the city is fully capable of achieving its ambitions in AI and semiconductors. Most importantly, the city’s greatest strength lies in the close attention, support, and collaboration from its leadership and government.

As we enter a new era – one where concepts, approaches, and technologies evolve daily – the spirit of pioneering and readiness to embrace change will be the key to seizing future opportunities. FPT looks forward to continued trust from the city’s leadership and stands ready to join forces in overcoming challenges in implementing next-generation technologies.

With 37 years of experience driving digital transformation in Vietnam and the region, and a strong network of global partners, FPT is committed to attracting leading partners and experts to Da Nang—fueling innovation and advancing Make in Vietnam – Make in Da Nang technologies. “We believe that Da Nang will not only become Vietnam’s technology hub, but a global one as well,” Mr. Hoa affirmed.
