Since its establishment in January 2021, SIA has navigated a challenging global landscape characterized by US-China tensions, geopolitical uncertainty, and the impacts of the global pandemic. These challenges underscored the importance of our strategic shift toward Southeast Asia, a region rich with potential and opportunity.

Today, three and a half years later, SIA’s growth exemplifies the success of this strategic direction:

• Ecosystem Development: We have cultivated a robust and sustainable ecosystem in Vietnam, laying the groundwork for enduring partnerships and growth.
• Investment Facilitation: Through our efforts, we have facilitated significant investments, including strategic joint ventures and alliances, which highlight the immense potential of the Southeast Asian region.
• Cross-Border Synergies: The recent collaboration between Alchip Taiwan and FPT Vietnam serves as a compelling example of the opportunities enabled by regional cooperation, propelling our initiatives into the Philippines and Malaysia.

Looking ahead, SIA is dedicated to redefining Southeast Asia’s role beyond that of a manufacturing hub. Our vision focuses on leveraging the region’s dynamic consumer markets, fostering the development of innovative investment ecosystems and funds, and enhancing talent exchanges, with a particular emphasis on the semiconductor sector.

This journey reaffirms our conviction that Southeast Asia is not only a vital market but also a strategic partner in advancing the future of commerce and technology across Asia. We extend our sincere gratitude to the nearly 100 distinguished guests who attended the SIA dinner. Your presence and support inspire our continued dedication to fostering collaboration and unlocking the full potential of this vibrant region.
