Intel in Ohio: Building the Silicon Heartland
ABSTRACT
Intel is investing more than $28 billion to build two leading-edge semiconductor fabs near Columbus, Ohio. Hoggatt will provide an overview of Intel’s efforts to build its first greenfield site in the United States in over 40 years and establish the ecosystem needed to support Intel’s operations. From the site selection process to the creation of road and utility infrastructure to the construction of the fabs and development of supply chain and workforce pipelines, Hoggatt will cover how Intel is working to revitalize American semiconductor manufacturing and build a more resilient global supply chain through the new Silicon Heartland in Ohio.
