Semiconductors
A competitive advantage for semiconductor supply chain growth.
Industries
The Northeast Ohio Region semiconductor industry chips away at the competition.
Semiconductor industry growth is easy in the Northeast Ohio Region. Here, you’ll find the resources to promote expansion for chip designers, materials suppliers, equipment manufacturers, chip foundries/FABs, and assembly, packaging, and testing. Businesses here enjoy comparatively low costs for labor, energy, and construction; low risk of disruptive natural disasters; plus, a central location, top-ranked infrastructure, and a pipeline of available sites that help increase companies’ speed to market. Northeast Ohio is also adjacent to Lake Erie – part of the largest fresh surface water system on earth – ensuring fresh water supply is reliable, abundant, and cost effective.
