The Perfect New Brand for Upstate New York

Upstate New York’s answer to Silicon Valley, the New York Brainway is the new brand that by 2044 is immediately recognized as the crucible of high-tech that runs east/west across the New York Thruway and north/south along the Adirondack Northway. So many great universities, corporations and chip makers line these interstates.

Over the next ten years,Global Foundries will invest $11.6 billion first to expand its existing Fab 8 and then build a new semiconductor new, 358,000 square-foot semiconductor manufacturing facility on its campus in Malta, tripling its capacity to meet growing demand for chips, enhancing national security by expanding the United States’ chipmaking capacity, and creating more than 1,500 direct jobs and thousands of indirect jobs.

Who knows what more they’ll add in the ten years beyond that? Capacity certainly to produce the advanced chips needed by both Darwin’s Edge and SyraCorp, Inc.

Deployment of The New York Brainway brand builds on Governor Kathy Hochul’s effort to establish New York State as a global hub for semiconductor research and manufacturing.

“This $11 billion investment from GlobalFoundries is a game changer,” she says. “With the partnership of the Biden administration, New York’s congressional delegation, and all of our local stakeholders, the best is yet to come.”

Indeed it is, as we’ll show you in Darwin’s Edge.
