RIT poised to join regional semiconductor manufacturing and innovation hub
RIT will be part of a NY SMART-I Corridor Technology Hub focused on semiconductor manufacturing and innovation.
The Corridor Tech Hub, one of 12 Tech Hubs in the nation, is expected to bring $40 million in federal funding to the region. Proponents say the funding will further position the region as a semiconductor center for the world. According to the New York state Governor’s office, the Tech Hub will work to build a world-class semiconductor ecosystem across a range of focus areas, including equitable workforce development and talent placement, and research and commercialization pathways in partnership with leading academic institutions.
“Today, the real work begins as we move toward transforming our region into the leading semiconductor manufacturing hub in the United States,” said RIT President David Munson. “This designation underscores RIT’s shared mission to educate the next generation of students poised to shape the future of the semiconductor industry.”
