On June 16, 2026, at the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology (PTIT), the Institute held a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing ceremony with Planck Lab – a technology startup from Korea, aiming to promote cooperation in microelectronics, manufacturing technology, and high-quality semiconductor human resource training.

The signing ceremony marks the next step following a series of working sessions and in-depth discussions between the two sides since March 2026, when PTIT and Planck Lab jointly explored cooperation potential in microelectronics, new materials, chip design, and semiconductor manufacturing technologies.

According to the signed agreement, both sides will focus on building a practical and sustainable semiconductor training ecosystem, with emphasis on developing specialized training programs ranging from fundamental knowledge to advanced technological processes. Notably, the cooperation model goes beyond theoretical training and aims to establish simulation-based practice environments for semiconductor manufacturing processes, enabling students to gain closer exposure to the realities of the industry.

In addition, Planck Lab will accompany PTIT in supporting training infrastructure through specialized equipment, knowledge transfer, faculty training, and connections with universities, research institutes, and enterprises within Korea’s semiconductor ecosystem. This is considered an important foundation for PTIT to gradually enhance and complete its semiconductor integrated circuit training programs in line with international standards.

The cooperation agreement with Planck Lab further affirms PTIT’s strategic orientation in strongly investing in semiconductor technology — one of the key strategic technology sectors prioritized by the Government of Vietnam and the Ministry of Science and Technology. This cooperation is expected to contribute to strengthening PTIT’s research and training capabilities, while enhancing the supply of high-quality human resources for Vietnam’s semiconductor industry.
