Healey-Driscoll Administration and Northeast Microelectronics Coalition award $10.2 million to supercharge microelectronics industry across Massachusetts

The Healey-Driscoll Administration and the Northeast Microelectronics Coalition (NEMC) Hub have awarded $10,174,823 to ten microelectronics projects through its Supporting Chip Advancement from Lab to Enterprise (SCALE) Capital Program. The SCALE Capital awards will fund the purchase of capital equipment to support workforce and technology development at higher education institutions, companies, and nonprofit organizations.

The program builds on NEMC’s mission to rapidly accelerate microelectronics ecosystem development by supporting projects that unite the microelectronics community, develop technologies to attract additional investment, and boost workforce development programs to fill regional gaps.

MIT Lincoln Laboratory was awarded a $3,900,000 grant to fund capital equipment for an ecosystem development project titled “A High-Efficiency RF and 2D Materials Lab Fueling the Northeast Microelectronics Ecosystem.”
