Vietnam’s first chip plant may miss its 2027 trial-production target

Reuters reports that Vietnam’s first chip plant may miss its 2027 trial-production target. A person with direct knowledge cited Viettel’s inexperience building chip factories and delays securing government funding. Three people familiar with talks said Viettel has yet to reach an equipment deal with ASML. Reuters reports that satellite images show no buildings at the Hanoi site, while Viettel says the project is progressing on schedule.
