The federal government has announced a landmark $1.2 billion investment to establish a state-of-the-art advanced semiconductor packaging facility in Bromont, Quebec. This strategic move, led by a new consortium called Maple Advanced Packaging Inc., aims to secure Canada's domestic microchip supply chain and reduce reliance on foreign manufacturing. The initiative is a cornerstone of Canada's emerging national semiconductor strategy, designed to bolster economic security and position the country as a key player in the high-tech global economy, particularly in critical sectors like artificial intelligence, automotive, and telecommunications.
