Today, the Biden-Harris Administration announced that the U.S. Department of Commerce is entering negotiations to invest up to $300 million in advanced packaging research projects in Georgia, California, and Arizona to accelerate the development of cutting-edge technologies essential to the semiconductor industry. The expected recipients are Absolics Inc. in Georgia, Applied Materials Inc. in California, and Arizona State University in Arizona. These competitively awarded research investments, each expected to total as much as $100 million, represent novel efforts in advanced substrates. Advanced substrates are physical platforms that allow multiple semiconductor chips to be assembled seamlessly together, enable high-bandwidth communication between those chips, efficiently deliver power, and dissipate unwanted heat. The advanced packaging enabled by advanced substrates translates to high performance computing for AI, next-generation wireless communication, and more efficient power electronics. Such substrates are not currently produced in the United States but are foundational to establishing and expanding domestic advanced packaging capability. Up to $300 million in federal funding will be paired with additional investments from the private sector, bringing the expected total investment across all three projects to over $470 million. This combined effort will help ensure U.S. manufacturers stay competitive and continue to drive technological innovation, giving companies a stronger edge in global competition.

Last week, our International Affairs and Trade team proudly supported 12 California small business owners on their journey to the ReBuild Ukraine trade mission. This important event offered our businesses opportunities to showcase their innovative products in construction and energy, forge new partnerships, and explore growth through strategic matchmaking sessions. A special thank you to Accenture for opening their Warsaw offices and hosting the entire USA delegation to ReBuild for briefings and networking events. As California continues to lead in sustainable business solutions, it was inspiring to see our small businesses bring their expertise to the global stage and support critical Ukrainian rebuilding efforts. Their dedication and entrepreneurial spirit highlight the impact of our state’s small business community on the global stage. And we look forward to seeing how these partnerships and collaborations develop, as California’s commitment to international trade and Ukrainian reconstruction only grows stronger. #USA4RebuildUkraine #ReBuildUkraine #CaliforniaSmallBusiness cc: AEQUOR, Inc. , Astranis Space Technologies, Bardex® Corporation, Energy Cloud Inc., ePAVE, LLC, Metro City Builders, Precision Labs Calibration, Radiant, RedoxBlox, Skydio, Stayner Architects, Sujen International LLC
