的 澳门威尼斯人网上赌场 是首席合伙人 in the three-region consortium focused on semiconductor manufacturing and innovation.
的 纽约SMART I-Corridor技术中心, of which the 澳门威尼斯人网上赌场 是首席合伙人, was selected as one of only 12 national Tech Hub award winners and is receiving $40 million in funding from the US Economic Development Administration to elevate the burgeoning semiconductor industry in Upstate New York. 的 纽约SMART I-Corridor技术中心 横跨布法罗河, 罗彻斯特, and Syracuse region and has engaged more than 100 institutions, assembling commitments from industry, 学术界, 劳动, 非营利性的, 政府, 以及其他私营部门成员.
的 award to the 纽约SMART I-Corridor技术中心 follows the designation last year of the three cities as a national tech hub.
“As a lead partner of the NY SMART I-Corridor consortium, the 澳门威尼斯人网上赌场 is beyond excited by today’s transformational 公告 and I thank the Economic Development Administration for recognizing our potential with this award,总裁萨拉·曼格尔斯多夫说. “I firmly believe that no region has more momentum as a center for innovation-led growth, and this funding will enable us to leverage our collective strengths and assets to build an ever-better future together as a global leader in semiconductor research and manufacturing. I commend Senator [Charles] Schumer’s vision and leadership in establishing this program through the landmark 芯片与科学法案, as well as his efforts to highlight the Buffalo-罗彻斯特-Syracuse region’s potential to be a hub of semiconductor innovation. I also want to recognize the unwavering support from local champions like Congressman [Joseph] Morelle who brought the region together and have us poised for success.”
At a 罗彻斯特 event held July 2 at Monroe Community College’s (MCC) downtown campus, 美国参议院多数党领袖舒默, 美国众议员莫雷尔, and local leaders and partners including Peter Robinson, University vice president for Government and Community Relations, celebrated the Buffalo-罗彻斯特-Syracuse region’s prestigious federal Tech Hub designation created in the 芯片与科学法案.
Schumer announced that the $40 million will “supercharge the I-90 corridor to become America’s superconductor super-highway. 这意味着几年后, a quarter of all semiconductors made in the United States of America will be made within a few miles of our I-90 corridor.
”,,舒默补充道, “we have two of the greatest innovation universities right here in the 澳门威尼斯人网上赌场 and RIT.”
Said Morelle: “Last fall when we made these original 公告s, we were so excited but we knew it was going to be stiff competition with 400 different regions applying. It’s pretty amazing when there are 400 applications and only 12 are chosen around the country and we’re one of them. And the only one in the microelectronics supply chain.”
今年十月, Schumer announced that the three-region consortium was one of only 31 regions selected for the Tech Hub designation and that the region’s 纽约SMART I-Corridor技术中心 proposal was competing for the next phase of the Tech Hubs Program. Since the 公告 of this designation, the NY SMART I-Corridor has brought together the combined assets of Buffalo, 罗彻斯特, and Syracuse to help the region become a globally recognized semiconductor manufacturing hub in the next decade, with innovation focused on improving the quality and quantity of semiconductor manufacturing and, 与此同时, amplifying the region’s microelectronics and microchip supply chain ecosystem.
的 Buffalo-Syracuse-罗彻斯特 consortium initially beat out nearly 400 initial applications in the first phase of the Tech Hubs competition, and was one of 31 proposals selected for the federal Tech Hub designation that allowed them to compete for this funding award.
