Vietnam's second chance in Silicon Valley

And imagine the potential of when the Vietnamese from different corners could team up, leveraging resources and tapping into either the local or global markets. Time to rise.

"Thousands of the Vietnamese boat people, like Tran, ended up in Silicon Valley, staking their lives and livelihoods on tech. During the electronics boom in the late '70s and early '80s around minicomputers and personal computers, companies including Atari, Intel and IBM needed a manufacturing labor force. The older refugees found quick work, and the companies found hard-working, loyal employees. But the young (and not-yet-born second generation) Vietnamese Americans would grow into a stock of enterprising and ambitious techies eager to reach higher. Assembly workers and technicians raised today's engineers and CEOs."
