“and finally, a very good day. I just got in from Albany in New York State. It was a very good day for Upstate New York. This morning, I was up in Albany to make a very exciting announcement years in the making. America's first ever national semiconductor technology center is now officially open for business in Albany, NY, in Upstate New York. Today is the day I have been dreaming about since the time I wrote the Chips and Science law and when I was writing the NSTC program into the bill. I had always been thinking of Albany and of Upstate New York. This center will be a leading hub for semiconductor innovation, not just in America but the whole world. This is a great message for all Americans. Whether you live in Albany, New York State, or any other part of this great country, there is a bold, vital message that comes from Albany: The future of chips and the most advanced semiconductor chips is here in America--not overseas, not China.”
