As global demands continue to grow and evolve across every phase of the semiconductor process, Michigan is shepherding in the new guard for the industry. Home to the automotive and mobility industries, cutting-edge technologies and a holistic advanced manufacturing ecosystem, Michigan continues to drive future innovations and discoveries acorss these industries.
Michigan’s ability to support the semiconductor industry extends from its deep knowledge as a customer of the sector, as the global epicenter of the automotive industry. The state is home to nearly one-fifth of U.S. auto production — more than any other state in the nation — and has the greatest concentration of OEMs in the country. Add to that, Michigan’s automotive industry purchased nearly $35 million in products and services from semiconductor companies in Michigan in 2020 alone, building on the state’s leadership in semiconductor R&D and testing. This is due in large part to the state’s talent and processes supported by Hemlock Semiconductor, KLA and the University of Michigan, which is the top global institute for semiconductor training.
