SINGAPORE/TAIPEI -- Top European chipmaker Infineon is racing to hire more skilled workers in South and Southeast Asia as the regions become increasingly important to the world's semiconductor and tech supply chains.

Infineon's Asia-Pacific president and managing director, Chua Chee Seong, told Nikkei Asia that the company is recruiting more staff in India, which is already the German chipmaker's key Asian research and development base, and that it also aims to significantly expand the workforce at its new Vietnam office to "multiple hundreds" of engineers.
