Infineon Technologies expands operations in Vietnam.

Hiller expressed his confidence that this endeavour will strengthen the local hardware development ecosystem and play a crucial role in ensuring unfettered access to a skilled and proficient workforce.

Indications are that the new Hanoi centre will play a pivotal role in supporting DES's ambitious growth plans. During the initial phase, DES will concentrate on expanding its expertise and capabilities concerning SoC systems, actively seeking out top-notch professionals, specialising in functional testing and custom circuit design.

Hanoi is aiming to solidify its position as an internationally renowned R&D hub, comparable to Infineon's existing prominent centres located in Germany), Austria, India, and Singapore. Infineon's expansion serves as an auspicious sign for Vietnam, underscoring the country's concerted efforts to entice investment and foster the development of its burgeoning semiconductor industry. The Ministry of Planning and Investment has been entrusted with formulating a comprehensive plan to further facilitate this strategic objective.

Infineon Technologies AG is a major global designer, manufacturer and supplier of a broad range of semiconductors used in various microelectronic applications. Infineon's product portfolio consists of logic products, including digital, mixed-signal, and analogue integrated circuits, as well as discrete semiconductor products.

It is currently recognised as Germany's largest semiconductor manufacturer and can trace its origins back to its former parent company, Siemens AG. The semiconductor operations were part of Siemens before being spun off to form Infineon Technologies. This strategic move allowed Infineon to establish itself as an independent entity solely focused on the semiconductor industry, enabling it to innovate and lead the market with its cutting-edge solutions.
