Vietnam Starts Chip Plant Construction
16 Jan
Summary
- Vietnam begins building its first semiconductor plant.
- The facility aims for trial production by late 2027.
- Vietnam seeks to dominate chip research, design, and manufacturing.
Construction has begun on Vietnam's first semiconductor fabrication plant, a significant step toward building a domestic chip manufacturing ecosystem. Viettel, the military-run telecom company, initiated the project, which is expected to commence trial production by late 2027.
This new facility, located in Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park near Hanoi, will enable Vietnam to participate in all six stages of the semiconductor value chain, including the complex wafer fabrication process. Viettel plans to fine-tune operations and upgrade equipment through to 2030.
