It’s been a monumental week for Arizona and our semiconductor industry. From record-breaking investments to groundbreaking programs, here’s how Phoenix is shaping the future of microelectronics.

1️⃣ $6.6 billion in CHIPS Act funding is headed towards TSMC’s Phoenix fab. This investment solidifies Phoenix as a global hub for advanced manufacturing, creating jobs and driving local innovation. https://bit.ly/4fAH05W

2️⃣ TSMC adds two new registered apprenticeship programs, increasing its local education partners, creating great opportunities to skill-up talent. The City of Phoenix is proud to sponsor three programs focused on semiconductor technicians that will make our region a global leader in the most advanced microchip manufacturing. This week, I met with current apprentices who are already gaining the skills to shape our city’s semiconductor future.

3️⃣ hashtag#PHX remains at the forefront of innovation thanks to the $100M SHIELD USA project led by Arizona State University and Deca Technologies. This partnership will advance semiconductor packaging, foster new research, and create high-tech opportunities right here in our city. https://bit.ly/3CPpBYr

Who would’ve thought all this momentum began with a visit to Taiwan? During my first trip as mayor, I used my economic development and water and energy background to help convince TSMC to choose Phoenix for their next major investment. Today, Phoenix is at the center of America’s microchip manufacturing revival—and it’s just the beginning.
