“We can clearly see the biggest team from this big partnership upgrade is to invest further into the semiconductor and chip manufacturing industry. However, if we look at the entire talent workforce in the chip design sectors in Vietnam, right now we only have about 5,000 chip design engineers. In fact, we need at least 20,000 to actually accompany all the movement of this factory that all the companies that we just mentioned to Vietnam. So I think it's exciting that we are attracting so much new movement from the chip design and chip manufacturers to Vietnam. But we also face a lack of human workforce, especially high-skill talents. And if we look at like the actual number, Vietnam's semiconductor export is just about 4 billion which is still behind a lot of major semiconductor exporters such as China, Japan Taiwan, and South Korea. So I think we need to increase and somehow attract more chip designers, and engineers to Vietnam and also improve our productivity of labor which is still low compared to all the countries in the APAC region.” - Valerie Van V., Founder of Ansible Ventures Watch, listen or read the full insight at https://lnkd.in/g3A4ktDT #Vietnam #Semiconductor, #Microchip #Biden #Tech #AdultLearning #Investments #Lotte #ConsumerTrends #BRAVEpodcast
