Silicon Desert—An Oasis of Innovation
Since the early 1950’s, Arizona has been an oasis in the desert for tech companies, with many established names making their home here. Today, with the recent enactment of the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors—CHIPS for America Act, aimed at incentivizing U.S. semiconductor technology leadership and manufacturing, strengthening supply chains, and re-establishing U.S. trade leadership, the greater Phoenix area has never been more attractive.
Given the benefits of land prices, stable infrastructure, generous state and city incentives, highly recognized universities, a skilled workforce, and a lack of natural disasters, it’s easy to see why many companies are choosing Arizona for expansion, relocation, or a startup. Includes presentation on National Semiconductor Economic Roadmap
Join the SEMI Arizona Chapter on November 17, 2021 to see what Arizona has to offer and how our ecosystem is growing and how Arizona is becoming the premier location in the nation for semiconductor production, talent, and research.
