Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Bui Hoang Phuong at the regular press briefing on the morning of January 29. One notable highlight he mentioned was the launch of a high-tech semiconductor chip manufacturing plant by Viettel Group on January 16. "While Vietnam already has many companies involved in chip design, and hosts several foreign-run packaging and testing plants, we did not have our own chip production facility - until now,” the Deputy Minister said. The company recently announced the establishment of a semiconductor chip packaging and testing plant, with operations expected to begin within the next three months. Once we have Vietnamese companies handling design, manufacturing and packaging, we will truly be laying the foundation to take ownership of semiconductor technology,” Bui Hoang Phuong stated.
