The Canadian federal government has announced a $1.5 billion investment to establish a new semiconductor research and manufacturing hub in Quebec's Eastern Townships. The initiative aims to bolster Canada's domestic chip production, reduce reliance on volatile foreign supply chains, and create thousands of high-skilled jobs. This funding is a cornerstone of the new national strategy to secure Canada's position in the critical global technology race. The project, a public-private partnership, will focus on advanced packaging and compound semiconductors, positioning Canada as a key player in specialized markets.
