Synopsys Technology deepens cooperation with the Vietnamese government to further promote the development of the local semiconductor industry
The global semiconductor industry’s presence in Vietnam is further expanding! Semiconductor intellectual property core (IP) and EDA manufacturer Synopsys recently announced their collaboration with the Vietnam Information and Communication Ministry (MIC) and its subsidiary, the Vietnam ICT Industry Management Authority (AICTI), to promote semiconductor development in Vietnam. They will also support AICTI in establishing a semiconductor research institute in Vietnam.
Synopsys Technology has pointed out that on the 18th day, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed at Synopsys Technology’s headquarters in Sunnyvale, California, USA. The MoU was signed in the presence of Vietnam’s Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Minister of Information and Communication Nguyen Manh Hung, and other officials from the Vietnamese delegation, as well as Joachim Kunkel, the General Manager of Synopsys Technology’s Solution Business Group, and other senior executives from Synopsys Technology.

The MoU aims to jointly promote the development of the local semiconductor industry in Vietnam.
In fact, the Vietnam ICT Industry Management Authority is currently working on formulating a semiconductor development strategic plan in Hanoi. This plan includes leveraging Synopsys Technology’s advanced technology in prototype design and simulation to optimize System-on-Chip (SoC) software and hardware co-design. The collaboration aims to establish a chip development and advanced simulation center, nurture innovative IC design startups, and enhance Vietnam’s research, development, and manufacturing capabilities in the semiconductor industry.
Nguyen Thien Nghia, the Director of the Vietnam ICT Industry Management Authority, expressed that Synopsys Technology is renowned for its leading semiconductor design software, IP, and software security solutions. Through this collaboration with Synopsys Technology, the Vietnam ICT Industry Management Authority can benefit from their world-class design technology and cultivate chip designers who can stay abreast of the latest industry trends, thereby contributing to the development of Vietnam’s semiconductor industry.
Lee Ming-che emphasized that the Vietnam ICT Industry Management Authority plays a pivotal role in promoting the development of Vietnam’s ICT industry and supporting its integration into the global semiconductor supply chain. He is pleased that Synopsys Technology can support the Ministry of Information and Communication of Vietnam in formulating strategic plans and establishing a semiconductor research institute in Vietnam that utilizes Synopsys Technology’s advanced technology.
Lee Ming-che further added that Synopsys Technology is committed to helping Vietnam’s semiconductor industry nurture IC design talents and research and development capabilities. The successful development of the semiconductor industry requires teamwork, and Synopsys Technology will closely collaborate with the Vietnam ICT Industry Management Authority to assist Vietnam in solidifying its leading position in the semiconductor sector within the Southeast Asian region.
