Your semiconductor future starts here
Michigan's semiconductor industry stands as a cornerstone of economic vitality, making an indispensable contribution of $4.6 billion to the state's total gross regional product. Recognizing the intrinsic link between the semiconductor sector and the automotive and mobility industry ecosystem, which accounts for nearly 19% of all U.S. automotive manufacturing, the state of Michigan has proactively championed and supported the semiconductor industry. This strategic focus is not merely regional; it aligns with broader national initiatives, where both the U.S. government and leading technology giants such as Intel and Micron have launched extensive efforts to fortify domestic chip manufacturing. As a consequence of these efforts, the demand for skilled workers in the semiconductor and microelectronics industries is anticipated to surge by over a million by the year 2030.
