Five companies announced a five-year partnership with UCLA Samueli School of Engineering to create a $125 million Semiconductor Hub combining financial backing and in-kind support across chip design, manufacturing, software, packaging, advanced materials, and cloud infrastructure.
The hub will focus on high-risk, high-reward research to tackle long-term semiconductor challenges while shortening the path from research to commercialization, and will help train future engineering talent in AI-powered chip technologies.
UCLA Chancellor Julio Frenk stated the partnership positions UCLA to help scale semiconductor innovation while strengthening U.S. economic competitiveness and national security.
