Global semiconductor industry regional cooperation
Overview
The semiconductor industry is seeing increased regional cooperation and workforce development initiatives centered around major technology hubs. In the United States, Arizona has established a microelectronics cooperation agreement with the German state of Saxony to connect companies, research institutions, and talent pools across the two semiconductor hubs.
Building on the technological growth in Phoenix, Arizona, Mexico is seeking to integrate itself into the semiconductor supply chain by focusing on testing and packaging processes. This includes a collaboration with the University of Arizona to implement a specialized skills certification program intended to cover all 32 Mexican states by the end of 2026. Additionally, local authorities in Monclova are coordinating with universities to specialize the local workforce in semiconductor technology in anticipation of increased industrial production by 2027.
