First Vietnam–South Korea AI and Semiconductor conference set to open

Detailed summary

The first Vietnam–South Korea AI and Semiconductor Conference (VKAISS 2026) is scheduled to take place on November 12 at L7 West Lake Hanoi Hotel.

The conference is organised by the Authority of Digital Technology and Artificial Intelligence in collaboration with FPT Corporation, the South Korea AI Semiconductor Fabless Industry Association (KAISA), and the Vietnam Software Association (VINASA) Semiconductor Industry Development Committee, under the Ministry of Science and Technology.

It will provide Vietnamese enterprises with opportunities to seek South Korean partners in integrated circuit design, semiconductor chip packaging and testing, and AI applications. The event aims to boost Vietnam–South Korea cooperation in AI and semiconductors.

The event contributes to implementing cooperation commitments between Vietnam and South Korea, following up on agreements advanced during the 2025 state visit to South Korea by Party General Secretary and State President To Lam and the 2026 visit to Vietnam by President Lee Jae Myung, during which the two countries agreed to strengthen cooperation in strategic technologies, particularly AI and semiconductors.

As the global semiconductor industry undergoes restructuring under the impact of AI and emerging technologies, Vietnam and South Korea have significant opportunities to cooperate and leverage their respective strengths.

South Korea maintains its position as one of the world's leading countries in memory chips. Vietnam is advancing further into the semiconductor ecosystem, with the goal of achieving annual industry revenue of more than $100 billion in 2040–2050. The two countries have considerable potential to expand cooperation in IC design, packaging, testing, and high-quality workforce training.

The event will feature two main discussion sessions focusing on human resource development and policies for Vietnam–South Korea cooperation in AI and semiconductors. Alongside these sessions, business networking activities and a technology exhibition will create opportunities for enterprises from both countries to explore investment partnerships, technology transfer, and…
