SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced its collaboration with the Vietnam National Innovation Center (NIC) under the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) to advance IC design talent in Vietnam, with Synopsys supporting the NIC's establishment of a chip design incubation center.

Vietnam Prime Minster, Pham Minh Chinh, along with a delegation of Vietnamese leaders participate in a signing ceremony at Synopsys headquarters in Sunnyvale, Calif. for an agreement between Vietnam's National Innovation Center and Synopsys to support the development of a new Chip Design Incubation Center.

The NIC is establishing the infrastructure for the IC design incubation center at Hoa Lac High-Tech Park, Hanoi, Vietnam, including Synopsys advanced technologies in prototyping and emulation for optimizing software and hardware SoC co-designs. The collaboration aims to cultivate an advanced IC design workforce and facilitate the start-up design community in Vietnam. This collaboration supports the Vietnamese government's strategy to grow the IC design workforce and related start-up community.

Synopsys will provide training licenses, which include curriculum, educational resources, and a "Train the Trainers" program to the NIC to help set up the chip design incubation center. The NIC will invest in the IT prototyping and emulation infrastructure to establish the incubation center, which is expected to open in the near future.

"Synopsys is a leader in semiconductor design software, IP, and software security innovation," said Mr. Vo Xuan Hoai, Vice Director of NIC. "The company's world-class design technology will benefit the NIC IC design incubation center in Vietnam and enable our future chip designers to be trained on the latest industry trends. Vietnam's semiconductor industry overall will also benefit from the collaboration."

"The NIC is the innovation hub of Vietnam's high-tech industry, and we are happy to support the NIC's establishment of a chip design incubation center with Synopsys advanced technology," said Dr. Robert Li, Synopsys Sales Vice President of Taiwan and South Asia. "Throughout recent years, Synopsys has introduced many innovative technologies to our Vietnam partners to help them strengthen IC design capabilities and shorten time-to-market. We hope the collaboration with the NIC will not only result in new technologies for our partners in Vietnam, but also cultivate young talent and help propel the development of Vietnam's semiconductor industry."
