NY Creates, in partnership with SUNY - The State University of New York, industry leaders, workforce organizations, higher education institutions, and economic development partners from across the Greater Northeast, today announced the launch of NNME Northeast, one of the first Regional Nodes of the National Network for Microelectronics Education (NNME). Led by the Trump Administration's National Science Foundation (NSF) in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Commerce and implemented nationally by the SEMI Foundation as the NNME Hub Operator, NNME Northeast will help strengthen and scale workforce pathways into semiconductor and microelectronics careers across the rapidly growing Northeast region. The Regional Node is supported by up to $20 million over five years from NSF, along with an additional $900,000 investment from New York State Empire State Development focused on workforce development initiatives within New York.

NNME Northeast brings together more than 90 partners representing community colleges, universities, K-12 systems, workforce development organizations, economic development agencies, community-based organizations, and semiconductor employers to help build a more connected, employer-aligned talent ecosystem for the microelectronics industry. As the Regional Node lead, NY Creates will help coordinate regional collaboration and industry alignment efforts across the broader Northeast ecosystem, working alongside SUNY as academic convener and key industry partners, including Micron Technology.
