A global leader in semiconductor manufacturing, innovation and workforce development, the future of U.S. semiconductor manufacturing is in New York State.
Backed by the federal CHIPS and Science Act, the NY SMART I-Corridor is uniting Upstate New York’s strengths in manufacturing, workforce development and research to build a globally leading tech hub.
Today, only 1% of semiconductor memory chips are currently produced in the United States. By 2034, one in four American-made chips will come from within a 350-mile radius of the NY SMART I-Corridor. No other area will account for a greater share of domestic production.
This foundation is already being set through collaborative strategies with businesses, higher education, economic development groups and community-based organizations that are redefining the future of technology.
