EDINBURG, Texas - Dr. Can (John) Saygin, senior vice president for research and dean of the graduate college at UT-Rio Grande Valley, is going to be involved in the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Consortium (TSIC).
TSIC was formed recently by Gov. Greg Abbott and it follows the signing into law of House 5174, otherwise known as the Texas CHIPS Act.
Nineteen universities will work with TSIC, including UTRGV.
The CHIPS Act established both the TSIC and the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund (TSIF). Abbott said the purpose of the TSIC and TSIF is to leverage Texas’ investments in the semiconductor industry, encourage semiconductor-related companies to expand in the state, further develop the expertise and capacity of Texas institutions of higher education, and maintain the state’s position as the nation’s leader in semiconductor manufacturing.
“Texas is the birthplace of the integrated circuit, and we now lead the nation as the No. 1 state for semiconductor manufacturing,” Abbott said. “In the last legislative session, I signed the Texas CHIPS Act into law to help further cement Texas' position as a national leader in the semiconductor industry. We will leverage the expertise of industry leaders and our world-class higher education institutions to ensure we not only remain the best state in America for semiconductors but we become a global leader for semiconductor innovation. Thanks to the Texas CHIPS Act and the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Consortium and the Executive Committee, our great state will continue to dominate in the semiconductor industry for years to come."
Abbott said the Texas CHIPS Office is a newly formed division within the Texas Economic Development & Tourism Office in the Office of the Governor, created to provide support to the TSIC and assist in the administration of the TSIF.
Here is an audio recording of Dr. Saygin discussing his involvement with TSIC.
