The funding aims to expand the <a href="https://tokenist.com/three-semiconductor-stocks-to-hold-as-the-market-rebounds/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">semiconductor</a> manufacturer’s operations and enhance chip production capabilities domestically.

<p>The federal funding and over $600 million in incentives from New York State over a decade will support GlobalFoundries’ projects in New York and Vermont. The company plans to increase its wafer production capacity to 1 million annually at its Malta campus.</p>
<p>A key focus is adding technologies critical for the auto industry and establishing a fab dedicated to meeting the demand for essential chips across sectors like automotive, aerospace, defense, and artificial intelligence.</p>
