Governor DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon Husted announced that the state is partnering with Intel, JobsOhio, and the Ohio Grants Alliance?to formalize a semiconductor supply chain consortium in Ohio's Silicon Heartland.
The creation of the Silicon Heartland Supplier Consortium will better position Ohio to:
- Become one of two new semiconductor clusters in the United States.
- Help current and prospective Ohio suppliers compete for new federal grant funding for semiconductor materials and manufacturing equipment.
?Ohio is committed to ensuring the success of the Silicon Heartland," said Governor DeWine. "Bringing together industry partners to onshore this critical industry is key to strengthening our national security, spurring future innovation, and making our economy more resilient.??
?When we were working to attract Intel to establish its semiconductor fab facility in Ohio, we knew that most of the jobs would be created from the supply chain that followed,? said Lt. Governor Husted. ?The establishment of this semiconductor consortium can play an important role in establishing Ohio as the Silicon Heartland."
Lt. Governor Husted joined Chair of the Greater Cleveland Partnership?s Board of Directors Paul Dolan for a fireside chat focused on economic development at the organization?s annual Leadership Forum.? |
