Ho
Chi Minh City (VNS/VNA) — That the integrated circuit market in Vietnam
has huge potential, but no significant action for its development has been
taken recently, is experts’ scathing verdict.
In 2013, Ho Chi Minh
City became the first locality to launch an IC development programme at a cost
of 7.5 trillion VND.
It was expected that by
2017, its
IC industry would have revenues of 100-150 million USD and at least
five electronics multinationals investing in Vietnam, trained 2,000 engineers
and technicians, and incubated over 30 domestic technology firms.
