On the afternoons of March 24 and 25, 2026, the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology (PTIT) hosted working sessions with delegations from Planck Lab (Korea) and Inch Fab (USA) to discuss and explore cooperation opportunities in microelectronics, advanced materials, manufacturing technologies, chip design, and semiconductor production.

Planck Lab and Inch Fab are two technology startups with strong expertise in developing solutions related to MEMS, materials science, and semiconductor integrated circuits.

During the sessions, Dr. Nguyen Trung Anh, Director of the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, presented specific collaboration opportunities, including equipment exchange initiatives. He also expressed PTIT’s interest in referencing semiconductor training programs from partner universities of the two companies, with the aim of developing tailored programs for the Institute in the near future.

Representatives from Planck Lab showed strong agreement and proposed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), based on jointly developed programs and concrete cooperation plans, expected to take place in April. In addition, Dr. Chu Van Ben and Engineer Ja      ehun Lee engaged in technical discussions and hands-on experience with the maskless lithography equipment brought by the Planck Lab delegation.

Sharing the same vision, Mr. Michell Hsing, Founder and CEO of Inch Fab, introduced practical training models in IC design and modern semiconductor manufacturing processes. These advanced solutions from the United States aim to enhance hands-on skills for engineering students, meeting the stringent requirements of the global supply chain.

The two working sessions were conducted in an open, collaborative, and productive atmosphere, paving the way for promising prospects in international cooperation, research, and training in high-tech fields between PTIT and the two companies, especially given their existing network of shared partners.
