Advancing Semiconductor Manufacturing & Innovation
Dutchess County is playing a pivotal role in New York’s emergence as one of the leading states in semiconductor production, thanks to a series of major investments from industry giants and a strong industry supply chain. Building on a remarkable reputation and flourishing talent partnerships, our semiconductor and technology industry fosters a dynamic ecosystem that continues to fuel economic growth in the region.
Dutchess County's commitment to fostering innovation and workforce development recently prompted site selection publication Business Facilities to name the region the ‘heart’ of the burgeoning semiconductor industry.
A Robust Ecosystem
A Collaborative and Skilled Workforce
Dutchess County has been on the forefront of establishing a workforce that meets the regional business needs of today and tomorrow. In October of 2023, Dutchess Community College opened a $3 million, state-of-the-art, Mechatronics Lab, partnering with local companies such as onsemi, eMagin, and MPI. This program is just one part of ongoing investments in critical training and education initiatives. With thousands of semiconductor related jobs retained and added in the Hudson Valley over recent years, Dutchess County continues to cultivate the talent needed to keep the region on the cutting edge of innovation and advancement.
