Trusted authentication of electronics in capital equipment is an important pillar to realize the objectives of the Circular Economy. Life cycle secure authentication of critical parts throughout the full life cycle up to and including end-of-life is good for business for both equipment manufacturers and their customers.

In close cooperation with CNS and NXP we are working to realize the first IC fab in Vietnam. This is based on the Business Cooperation Agreement with NXP and CNS to sell NXP products in Vietnam and support for the realization of the first IC fab. The project receives substantial support from the governments of Vietnam and the Netherlands and has started the Feasibility Study phase.

We have started the Training Program for engineers of HCMC – SHTP R&D Labs to develop the skills for MEMS product design, manufacturing and product integration for water management applications. This program is given in cooperation with TU Delft – Else Kooi Labs and supported by the government of the Netherlands.
