Becoming the Next Semiconductor Industry Hub: Part 2

The NY SMART I-Corridor, a consortium of partners from Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo, is one of just 12 groups to receive a federal Tech Hub award and the only Tech Hub focused the semiconductor industry. The federal government saw local leaders’ strategy and existing regional assets and determined the NY SMART I-Corridor region has what it takes to be the next globally critical semiconductor industry hub. 

To support this growth, the federal government awarded the NY SMART I-Corridor Tech Hub more than $40 million for initiatives and projects that will help us grow and ensure all residents have access to opportunity. 

On Part 1 of our Tech Hub conversation, CenterState CEO’s Chief of Staff Ben Sio, OneROC President and CEO Joe Stefko and Buffalo Niagara Partnership President and CEO Dottie Gallagher joined Talk CNY to discuss how the NY SMART I-Corridor came to be. On this episode of Talk CNY, presented by NBT Bank, we are joined again by Ben, Joe and Dottie to talk about the projects and work ahead as our region tries to reach its goals.
