Semiconductor Industry Study

Fulbright University Vietnam goes beyond teaching to advance rigorous research on the sectors shaping Vietnam’s future. Semiconductors are one of these strategic sectors, with growing relevance to innovation, productivity, high-tech manufacturing, and long-term GDP growth. Through evidence-based research, Fulbright aims to support a deeper understanding of Vietnam’s opportunities in the global semiconductor value chain.

Our objective is to build a deeper understanding of Vietnam’s position in the semiconductor value chain and the conditions needed for the country to participate more effectively in this fast-growing industry.

Specifically, our research aims to:

• Examine the growth potential of the semiconductor industry and its relevance to Vietnam’s economic transformation.
• Identify Vietnam’s strengths and gaps in workforce development, education, infrastructure, and industry collaboration.
• Analyze how universities, companies, and public institutions can work together to prepare talent for high-value technology sectors.
• Generate practical recommendations that support long-term capacity building in semiconductor-related fields.
• Serve as a platform for collaboration between Fulbright, industry partners, academic institutions, and other stakeholders interested in Vietnam’s innovation ecosystem.
