Activating the supply chain for semiconductors
Blog Categories
BUFFALO, NY (The Buffalo News) — Companies such as PVS Solutions and Materion Corp. already supply the semiconductor industry from their plants in Buffalo.
But there are a lot more businesses in the Buffalo Niagara region – as well as in Rochester and Syracuse – that could be suitable for the semiconductor supply chain, and might not even be aware of it.
That is where the Supply Chain Activation Network, or SCAN, comes in. It is one of the components of the "tech hub" bid comprising Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse that was awarded $40 million in federal funding. SCAN is expected to receive about $9 million of the total funding.
