Background
Semiconductors are at the heart of the technologies shaping our future, powering artificial intelligence, smart mobility, robotics, advanced manufacturing, digital infrastructure, quantum technologies, and next-generation computing systems. As the semiconductor industry continues to evolve amid rapid technological innovation and changing global supply chains, strengthening international collaboration in research, education, talent development, and industrial partnership has become more important than ever.
Japan has long-standing strengths in semiconductor research, materials, devices, manufacturing technologies, packaging, equipment, design, and industrial know-how. Vietnam is emerging as a dynamic and promising semiconductor hub through strategic investments in human resource development, academic programs, research capabilities, innovation ecosystems, and industry-oriented policies. These complementary strengths create unprecedented opportunities for deeper cooperation between the two countries.
Against this background, VJSS-2026 aims to serve as a vibrant bridge connecting researchers, students, universities, companies, government agencies, and public institutions from Vietnam, Japan, and the international community. More than a traditional academic conference, VJSS-2026 is envisioned as a collaborative platform where scientific discoveries, technological innovations, educational initiatives, and industrial needs can converge to generate meaningful partnerships and long-term impact.
