“We need a technological shield.”
The smart chip industry in Vietnam is a prime example of how a developing country can play a crucial role in the global technology market. While design technology remains concentrated in the United States, Taiwan dominates the manufacturing and production side, with strong competition from South Korea.
Rapid Growth and Challenges in Vietnam’s Semiconductor Industry: A Hub for Global Tech Giants
Vietnam’s electronic chips and semiconductor market is experiencing rapid growth, with an annual rate exceeding 6.5%, according to a report by the research firm “Technavio.” This industry is one of the most vital sectors globally, with products used in smartphones, satellites, and artificial intelligence technologies.
Vietnam is also home to Intel’s largest factory, responsible for assembling, packaging, and testing electronic chips. In addition, Nvidia, a leading American technology company, plans to establish a base of operations in Vietnam.
However, this sector faces significant challenges, most notably in providing the necessary skills, as the risk of electronics graduates and students migrating abroad continue to grow. Vietnam is working hard to attract new students who aspire to work in global companies rather than local ones, relying on its young, educated workforce to support modern industries.
UAE’s Path to Smart Chip Development: Investing in Education and Technological Infrastructure for the Future
In the UAE, there are noticeable efforts to develop and manufacture smart chips. For example, Strata Manufacturing in Abu Dhabi plays a role in this field. However, the UAE has yet to establish large-scale factories for producing smart chips in the same way as Vietnam or Taiwan. Nevertheless, the UAE is investing in building advanced technological infrastructure and supporting research and development projects in this sector.
To meet the growing demand in this field, it is essential to guide students from the foundational educational stages to develop the technological shield required for the future, equipping them with smart and technical skills. This goal will only be achieved through investing in the new generation, developing their abilities, and building technical and vocational institutes for long-term state investment.
The shift towards digitization and artificial intelligence has become a standard in Dubai, moving beyond being a mere trend. It has now become an integral part of the operational practices of companies and the behaviors of consumers and advanced businesses alike.
Conclusion
As Vietnam continues to establish itself as a key player in the global smart chip industry, the UAE is making significant strides toward building its own technological infrastructure. Both nations recognize the importance of investing in education and developing a skilled workforce to meet the growing demands of the semiconductor market. By fostering innovation and equipping future generations with the necessary skills, they are positioning themselves to play vital roles in shaping the future of global technology.
