Introduction
New York State has emerged as a world center of burgeoning
technologies and is a national
leader, with companies dedicated to such fields as optoelectronics,
bioinformatics, nanotechnology, computers,
electronic components, measurement and process control devices.
IBM's decision to invest more than $4 billion in
Upstate New York, to build one of
the world's most
technologically advanced chip-making plants, sends a powerful message around the
world that New York State is the premier location for high-technological investments
and advancements.
Following on the heels of IBM's decision to locate its $300
million fab in
New York, International SEMATECH announced that it will locate a $400 million
research and development center at Albany NanoTech, located on the University
at Albany campus. Shortly thereafter, Tokyo Electron
announced that it too would locate a $300 million research and development
effort at Albany NanoTech, placing New York at the center of cutting-edge semiconductor
research and development.
New York State is also home to other
leading computer hardware and electronics companies
such as:
- IBM Corporation
- Philips Semiconductors
- EDO Corporation
- Sanmina-SCI Corporation
- Northrop Grumman
- Symbol Technologies
- Lockheed Martin
- BAE SYSTEMS
- Tokyo Electron
- International SEMATECH
- Endicott Interconnect Technologies
Investments in New York State by IBM and these other leading computer hardware
and electronics companies exemplifies the private sector's confidence in New York
State's pro-business climate and
underscores that New York is the place
to locate and expand your computer hardware or electronics business.
New York State's high-tech infrastructure offers a host of resources and incentives
for businesses in the computer hardware and electronics industries:
According to the American Electronics Association's Cyberstates
2005 Report,
New York State ranks:
- 3rd in the nation in total high-tech employment and payroll
- 4th in the nation in high-tech establishments
- Among the top five states for employment in Computers and
Peripheral Equipment
Manufacturing, Electronic Components Manufacturing, Defense Electronics Manufacturing and Photonics
Manufacturing.
- Incentives/Initiatives: The State is aggressively preparing for growth
in the computer hardware and electronics industries by offering "shovel
ready" sites for future manufacturers as well as a host of financial
incentives available through such initiatives as the Empire Zones Program.
In addition, the State boasts a world-class high-tech workforce.
- World-Class Academic and Research Institutions: Many of New York's
world-class educational and research institutions, such as
the Center of Excellence in
Nanoelectronics at the University at Albany,
are dedicated to the nanoelectronics and electronics industries. In an important
step in the State's effort to attract semiconductor industries, several of
New York's top universities, including Cornell University, Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute and SUNY
at Stony Brook,
were chosen as part of the prestigious, collaborative research effort known
as Focus Center-New York.
