U.S. Microelectronics and Semiconductor Innovation
What is NEMC?
The Northeast Microelectronics Coalition (NEMC) is a collaborative organization driving innovation in U.S. microelectronics, with its NEMC Hub serving as a key arm focused on regional collaboration. The NEMC Hub is a network of 250+ organizations, including commercial and defense companies, leading academic institutions, federally funded R&D centers (FFRDCs), and startups concentrated in eight Northeast states. Established in 2023 and funded through the U.S. Department of Defense, the NEMC Hub is one of eight regional Microelectronics Commons hubs acting on a shared mission to expand the nation’s global leadership in microelectronics and accelerate domestic semiconductor prototyping. As a division of the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MassTech), NEMC fosters a vibrant, connected ecosystem to provide sustainable lab-to-fab enablement, boost education and workforce development, and spur new jobs.
