Welcome to the Silicon Heartland

Where breakthroughs begin.

From advanced materials and manufacturing to logistics, research, and world-class talent, Ohio brings the semiconductor supply chain together in the heart of the U.S. 

The Silicon Heartland is being built on Ohio's decades-long legacy of semiconductor development, innovation, and manufacturing. That foundation of industrial expertise and research capabilities is evolving into a new generation of semiconductor investment and innovation. Intel’s decision to establish two leading-edge fabs in Licking County marked a transformational moment for Ohio, and since then, suppliers, logistics companies, top-tier universities, and workforce partners have continued to build around the once-in-a-generation opportunity.

Ohio’s advantage doesn’t end there. Its central location gives companies unmatched access to customers and suppliers across the U.S., creating opportunities for innovators statewide to access technologies and build partnerships that will shape what's next. As the industry continues to expand, Ohio is positioned at the center of that growth, ready to support new investment, new connections, and new possibilities.
