ICTU strengthened strategic cooperation in AI and Semiconductor Technologies with Vietnam National University, Hanoi
Hanoi – As a co-organizer of the ICTA 2025 International Scientific Conference in collaboration with the Institute of Information Technology, Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU-ITI), University of Information and Communication Technology (ICTU) – Thai Nguyen University has reaffirmed its strategic commitment to advancing artificial intelligence and semiconductor technologies, key pillars in Viet Nam’s national innovation and digital transformation agenda.
Through ICTA 2025, ICTU contributed to building a reputable academic forum where core topics such as artificial intelligence, intelligent systems, smart cities, smart education, and advanced AI technologies were discussed in depth. More than an annual academic event, the conference reflects ICTU’s development orientation toward modern, application-driven research, while expanding academic networks and enhancing the university’s standing within the national and international science and technology community.
Within the framework of the conference, the Semiconductor Alliance, initiated by Vietnam National University, Hanoi, was officially launched, bringing together nearly 30 universities, research institutes, and major technology enterprises from Viet Nam and abroad. The establishment of the Alliance is strategically significant as Viet Nam strengthens its high-tech competitiveness and deepens participation in the global semiconductor value chain. The Alliance aims to develop an integrated ecosystem linking education, research, and industry, laying the groundwork for “Make in Viet Nam” semiconductor products and the training of a high-quality semiconductor workforce—a critical factor in the development of the digital economy and the AI industry.
The Alliance comprises prominent members such as Vietnam National University, Hanoi (initiator), Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City, University of Danang, Hue University, Thai Nguyen University, Can Tho University, and Academy of Cryptography Techniques, alongside international partners including Sungkyunkwan University (Republic of Korea), Kumamoto University (Japan), Guangxi University (China), Moscow Power Engineering Institute, and leading universities of the Russian Federation. The participation of major technology corporations such as FPT, Viettel, CMC, CT Group, MK Group, Nisso (Japan), and MRIV International further strengthens the collaborative network supporting the development of Viet Nam’s semiconductor sector.
Acting as the representative of Thai Nguyen University within the Semiconductor Alliance, while also serving as a key driver of AI research, ICTU continues to demonstrate strong momentum in its strategy of knowledge connectivity and active engagement in national technology programs. ICTU’s involvement in both strategic fields opens up substantial opportunities for cooperation, technology transfer, and the development of highly qualified human resources to support sustainable national development.
At ICTU, artificial intelligence and semiconductor technologies are being systematically integrated into training and research activities. Students gain access to programs such as Artificial Intelligence, Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering, Intelligent Systems, Integrated Circuit Design, and interdisciplinary fields. This approach helps build a solid STEM foundation, fosters mastery of core technologies, and equips learners to confidently participate in high-tech value chains in the future.
With a clear strategic vision, ICTU remains committed to accompanying the innovation ecosystem, expanding partnerships, and guiding the next generation of engineers toward cutting-edge technologies—thereby making practical contributions to Viet Nam’s digital transformation and the advancement of science and technology.
