American Midwest Dreams of Making Chips

Purdue University President Mung Chiang:

…these are exciting times in Indiana – two new semiconductor clusters are emerging, one in West Lafayette at Purdue focused on the commercial sector and one at Westgate, near the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane, focused on the defense sector.

Our goal is to leverage Purdue’s excellence at scale to work with our partners and create a new, thriving, vibrant, and growing semiconductor hub in the heartland and to connect this growing commercial sector to the emerging defense sector at Westgate.

We look forward to working with our partners in the Midwest to make the Heartland one of the few critical regions of semiconductor manufacturing, design, innovation, and talent development in the United States.
