In a rapidly evolving global market, Vietnam has become a shining beacon for high-tech enterprises, drawing attention from major corporations such as Meta and Marvell. At the 2025 Vietnam Investment Forum, which unfolded amidst the bustling atmosphere of the Southeast Asia Semiconductor Exhibition in Singapore, this sentiment resonated loud and clear.

A Collaborative Stage Set for Innovation

The forum was a multi-faceted event orchestrated by the National Innovation Center, the Ministry of Finance, the Vietnamese Embassy in Singapore, and Meta. It came at a crucial juncture as Vietnam pivots towards a growth strategy centered on scientific innovation and digital transformation.

This year’s focus was to amplify Vietnam’s stature as a high-tech investment nucleus, underscored by strategic goals:

  • Showcasing Vietnam’s Thriving High-Tech Ecosystem: Focused efforts to present a fertile ground for investment in semiconductors, AI, and intelligent manufacturing.
  • Strengthening Global Partnerships: Building bridges between international businesses and Vietnamese research institutions to foster collaborative growth.
  • Expanding Workforce Opportunities: Emphasizing the establishment of a regional talent hub for semiconductor industries, setting the stage for workforce development.

Leading Voices Echo Vietnam’s Potential

At the helm of this forward-thinking dialogue were Vu Quoc Huy of NIC and Vietnamese Ambassador Tran Phuoc Anh, who articulated the forum’s alignment with Vietnam’s broader sustainable development strategies. Over 150 delegates, including luminaries from Meta, Marvell, Siemens, and Cadence, joined forces to endorse these initiatives.

According to Báo VietNamNet, Vu Quoc Huy highlighted Vietnam’s openness to collaboration with tech giants like Meta and Marvell: “Our vision is to cultivate an innovation ecosystem deeply rooted in strategic technologies,” he expressed with conviction.

Strategic Initiatives and Workforce Impact

Meta and Marvell, keen observers of Vietnam’s burgeoning tech landscape, have already taken significant strides. Meta has laid plans for local production of its Quest 3S VR headset, forecasting economic contributions and job creation. Marvell’s commitment is equally striking with its expanding R&D presence, embodying one of its largest global centers in Vietnam.

Vietnam’s Path to High-Tech Leadership

During thought-provoking panel discussions, insights from leaders at Dassault Systèmes, Siemens, and Marvell crystallized the roadmap for Vietnam’s tech future. Their dialogues circled around removing institutional hurdles, fostering innovation, and deepening international ties.

Vietnam’s Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung’s remarks from an earlier forum set the tone: “Science, technology, and innovation are not just pillars but the keystones of our growth.”

Meta and Marvell’s spotlight on Vietnam underscores a story of ambition, innovation, and unyielding potential—a narrative that places Vietnam firmly on the map as a high-tech investment hub of the future.
