Dear Texas Economic Development Stakeholders and Governor’s National Semiconductor Centers Texas Task Force Members,
We are excited to let you know that applications for the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund (TSIF) are now available on our website.
As you may know, TSIF is a new incentive program to encourage the continued leadership of Texas in semiconductor research, design and manufacturing. The TSIF was established in June 2023 when Governor Abbott signed into law the Texas CHIPS Act (House Bill 5174), which established the TSIF as well as the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Consortium (TSIC) and the TSIC Executive Committee. The Texas Legislature appropriated $698.3 million to the TSIF.
The TSIF will provide grants and matching funds to eligible entities for semiconductor research, manufacturing and design projects. Eligible entities include state entities, including institutions of higher education, and private businesses planning new or expanded semiconductor manufacturing and design projects.
We invite you to share this information with those in your network and learn more about the program by clicking the link below.
Please feel free to reach out to the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund program team with any questions you may have at TSIF@gov.texas.gov
Thank you for your continued partnership as Texas remains the leading state for semiconductors, technology, innovation and more. We look forward to continuing our work together as we build a bigger, better Texas for generations to come!
Sincerely,
Adriana Cruz
Executive Director
Texas Economic Development & Tourism
Office of the Governor
