The Da Nang Semiconductor and AI Center (DSAC) hosted a meeting between government authorities and businesses from Vietnam's central Da Nang city and Germany's Chemnitz city on March 30, as part of a visit to Da Nang by Chemnitz Mayor, Mr. Sven Schulze.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Ho Quang Buu, Vice Chairman of the Da Nang People’s Committee, emphasized that the meeting took place as Da Nang city is accelerating the development of key technological sectors, including semiconductor microchips, artificial intelligence, high technology, and green technology.
Therefore, the city expressed its hope that Chemnitz and German partners will continue to accompany and support Da Nang in accessing new technologies, connecting with experts, fostering innovation ecosystems, and attracting high-tech and supporting industry enterprises to explore investment opportunities and establish long-term cooperation.
Da Nang city also reaffirmed its commitment to providing favorable conditions in terms of mechanisms, policies, infrastructure, and a cooperative environment, enabling joint programs between the two sides to be swiftly translated into practical projects. These efforts are expected to contribute to the development of a knowledge-based economy, innovation, and the enhancement of the city’s competitiveness in the new phase.
Chemnitz Mayor Sven Schulze, for his part, noted that the two cities share many similarities in their economic development orientations, high-tech focus, and sustainable development strategies. He also highlighted the Vietnamese community living, studying, and working in Chemnitz as an important bridge for strengthening bilateral cooperation.
Moreover, the Mayor expressed his expectation that the meeting would open up new opportunities for economic cooperation, investment, and business connectivity between the two localities in the coming time.
During the meeting, the two sides exchanged views on the potential and development orientations in high technology, semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and green technology; discussed cooperation opportunities between local governments and enterprises; and attended a thematic presentation on an AI-integrated companion robot project designed to support the elderly.
Both sides actively discussed ways to enhance connectivity, focusing on high technology, semiconductor microchips, artificial intelligence, and green technology. This event is considered a meaningful specialized external relations activity, contributing to the expansion of Da Nang’s international cooperation network in key technological sectors.
On this occasion, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems (ENAS), the Da Nang Semiconductor and AI Center (DSAC), and DSAI-TECH.
The MoU is expected to pave the way for concrete cooperation in research, technology transfer, human resource training, and the implementation of practical application projects.
