Samsung Vietnam on August 13 officially inaugurated the Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC) High-Tech Talent Development Center at the University of Information and Communication Technology (ICTU) – Thai Nguyen University, in the northern province of the same name.
The center is designed to be a vital link in the high-tech human resource training ecosystem, specifically addressing the growing demand for expertise in Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, and semiconductors.
Spanning nearly 1,000 sq.m, the facility includes two SIC classrooms, two semiconductor labs equipped with Virtual Reality and Extended Reality (VR/XR) technology, two meeting rooms, and a lounge area. The center has been systematically invested in to provide students with a comprehensive environment for hands-on training, research, and technological exploration.
The launch of this high-tech talent model in Thai Nguyen comes at a time when the province is already home to a significant presence of technology corporations, with Samsung serving as a key investor. However, moving beyond merely expanding production capacity, this investment in training infrastructure signals a strategic shift toward deeper involvement in cultivating the human capital necessary for the industrial ecosystem.
General Director of Samsung Vietnam, Mr. Na Ki Hong, stated that starting from 2026, Samsung will focus on a strategy to expand and upgrade the SIC Lab model in provinces across the country. Following successful launches in Hanoi, Da Nang, and Bac Ninh, the Thai Nguyen center continues to broaden the program's high-tech training network.
The 2026 SIC program is implemented through a partnership between Samsung Vietnam, the National Innovation Center (NIC), Letuin High Tech, and nearly 20 universities and colleges nationwide. The program aims to train approximately 2,200 students in the fields of AI, IoT, Big Data, and semiconductors.
