Event Overview
Join us at the 2024 Microelectronics Forum, organized by Upstate Defense—a collaboration between NYSTAR, FuzeHub, Centerstate CEO, the Griffiss Institute, Syracuse University, and funded by the DoD Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation. This forum is a prime opportunity for networking, gaining industry insights, and exploring growth opportunities.
Why Attend?
Supply chain disruptions, global microchip shortages, and abrupt shifts in demand have highlighted the critical need for domestic microelectronics manufacturing. New York State is leading the charge with major players like Globalfoundries, Wolfspeed, and Micron establishing cutting-edge facilities here. However, the industry thrives on local activities and collaboration.
