At the ceremony, Minister of Science and Technology Nguyen Manh Hung emphasized the role of packaging and testing as a strategic link, helping Vietnam participate more deeply in the global semiconductor value chain. The project is a flexible coordination model between the State and enterprises, with the Lab as an innovation testing center, laying the foundation for training high-quality human resources, attracting investment, and transferring technology. The Ministry of Science and Technology is committed to accompanying Da Nang in building a support mechanism for research and testing infrastructure, connecting national and international programs in the fields of packaging, design, and testing of microchips.

According to Mr. Luong Nguyen Minh Triet, Chairman of the People's Committee of Da Nang City, the development of science , technology, innovation and digital transformation is the leading breakthrough in the 2025-2030 term. VSAP Lab is expected to become a model "lab-fab" - integrating research, testing, production and training - serving advanced microchip packaging for AI chips, sensors, biomedicine and high-speed communication devices. VSAP Lab will be the nucleus of forming a semiconductor innovation cluster, contributing to realizing the aspiration of building Da Nang into a high-tech center of the country and is expected to become a "magnet" attracting brainpower, the cradle of advanced packaging technology "Make in Vietnam".
