On the afternoon of July 17, a delegation from the Da Nang People's Committee, led by Permanent Vice Chairman Ho Ky Minh, had a meeting in Hanoi with a senior leadership delegation from Qorvo (USA) headed by Mr. Bob Bruggeworth, Chairman and CEO of the company.
During the meeting, the working delegation introduced Da Nang city's efforts in the first six months of 2024 to promote the development of the semiconductor and artificial intelligence sectors.
Notably, on June 26, 2024, the National Assembly passed Resolution No. 136/NQ-QH on the organization of urban government and the piloting of several special mechanisms and policies for the development of Da Nang city, including preferential policies to encourage investment and development in the semiconductor and artificial intelligence sectors.
Within the framework of the meeting, Mr. Philip Chesley, Vice President of Qorvo USA in charge of high-performance analog signals, and Mr. Trinh Khac Hue, Director of Qorvo Vietnam, presented the latest research and development results of new technologies and the prospects for business expansion and investment in Vietnam.
In a spirit of mutual cooperation and support, both sides shared and exchanged specific information to develop Qorvo's semiconductor chip research and design office in Da Nang, as well as the orientation for developing labs and chip design human resources in the near future.
Speaking at the meeting, Vice Chairman Ho Ky Minh extended a respectful invitation to Qorvo to attend the Semiconductor Day event in Da Nang, scheduled for August 30, 2024.
The event will have two sessions: the morning session will focus on attracting investment in the semiconductor sector, and the afternoon session will focus on connecting supply and demand for human resources in the semiconductor field. Vice Chairman Ho Ky Minh expressed his desire to sign a cooperation agreement with Qorvo for investment in a chip design office and a training center at Da Nang Software Park No. 2.
