United States’ Nvidia set to discuss chip deals in Vietnam next week

HANOI: U.S. chip giant Nvidia will discuss cooperation deals on semiconductors with Vietnamese tech companies and authorities in a meeting on Monday in Hanoi, an invitation letter to participants seen by Reuters showed.

The southeast Asian country, which is home to large chip assembling factories including Intel’s biggest globally, is trying to expand into chip designing and possibly chip-making as trade tensions between the United States and China create opportunities for Vietnam in the strategic industry.
