Ho Chi Minh City's Saigon Hi-Tech Park (SHTP) and Siemens
Electronic Design Automation (Siemens EDA), a segment of Siemens Digital
Industries Software, on February 27 signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU)
on cooperation in personnel training in the semiconductor chip industry in
Vietnam.
The deal is based on advantages and expertise of the SHTP in
personnel training in the industry, and the strengths of Siemens in software
design, with collaboration activities to start this year.
Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Anh Thi, head of the SHTP
Management Board, expressed his belief that the MoU will create opportunities
for trainees to approach cutting-edge technologies in the design and
verification of semiconductor IC designs, while building up experience in the
high-tech sector.
SHTP sees personnel training as one of its key activities
towards materialising the city’s target of developing the semiconductor chip
industry, and turning itself into a science - technology and innovation urban
area, and a new growth engine of the Southeastern region and the country at
large, he added.
Established in 2002, SHTP currently has more than 162 valid
investment projects, including many by multinational corporations.
Meanwhile, Siemens EDA delivers the world's most
comprehensive portfolio of electronic design automation (EDA) software,
hardware and services.
