This episode dives into the mission of the Florida Semiconductor Engine, a statewide coalition uniting microelectronic companies, universities, and local leaders to onshore critical technology and strengthen America’s tech edge. Backed by strategic investment and anchored in Osceola County, the Engine is building the infrastructure and partnerships needed to lead in advanced packaging.

Driving this momentum is the National Science Foundation, whose support of academic institutions and regional innovation hubs like Florida could be transformational. For 75 years, NSF has fueled scientific breakthroughs and now it’s placing bold bets on technologies that will define our economic future. Semiconductors are one of them. Hit play to see why Florida is all in on this episode of The Chip Frontier: Florida’s Semiconductor Edge. 

Featuring: Matt Walsh, Chief Engineer, NSF Florida Semiconductor Engine; Dr. Erwin Gianchandani, Assistant Director for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (TIP), National Science Foundation (and Jessica Fields, NSF Program Director).
