Vietnamese and South Korean businesses, industry associations and educational institutions signed eight memoranda of understanding (MoUs) at the first Vietnam-Korea AI-Semiconductor Summit (VKAISS) 2026 in Hanoi on November 12, covering technology development, supply chain cooperation and workforce training.

The agreements also aim to strengthen business links and expand cooperation opportunities in artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductors.

In business networking, the Korea AI Semiconductor Association (KAISA) and the Bac Ninh Semiconductor Association agreed to connect South Korean semiconductor companies with electronics, semiconductor and supporting-industry businesses in Vietnam's northern Bac Ninh Province. Their cooperation will promote trade, expert exchanges and collaboration in chip design, manufacturing, packaging and testing.

In semiconductor packaging and testing, Vietnam's FPT established partnerships with HANA Micron, Supergate and edgeAI to expand its network of partners across the semiconductor supply chain.

For technology development, FPT and SKAIChips agreed to cooperate on semiconductor and AI projects. They will explore combining SKAIChips' chips, circuit boards and low-power technologies with FPT's AI models to develop practical applications.

Potential applications include food monitoring, electronic shelf labels, asset tracking and healthcare. The partnership also seeks to identify customers and expand commercial opportunities in Vietnam, South Korea, Japan and Malaysia.

In education, FPT Polytechnic College signed cooperation agreements with Soongsil University and EdgeAI, while the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology partnered with the Institute of Semiconductor Engineers (ISE) of Korea. The institutions will focus on faculty, expert and student exchanges, specialised training programmes, applied research and industry seminars.

Alongside the signing ceremony, VKAISS 2026 held sessions on workforce development and…
