Empire State Development (ESD) and the State University of New York (SUNY) today announced the New York Center for Research, Economic Advancement, Technology, Engineering and Science, or NY CREATES, held its first board meeting and is formally leading operations of Fuller Road (FRMC) and Fort Schuyler (FSMC) Management Corporations.
Dr. Grose, one of the most recognized executives in the semiconductor industry, assumes the leadership role for Albany Nanotech and the associated technology facilities and locations. His goal is to forge an organization which focuses on technology development with an emphasis on business. NY CREATES will manage technology development programs at the Albany Nanotech facility, Rochester TAP facility, and other advanced research facilities across New York State.
Governor Andrew Cuomo announces a $2 billion investment by NYS and IBM to grow the company’s high-tech footprint at NY CREATES and throughout New York State. New York State invests $300 million over five years to support the the establishment of an “AI Hardware Center” for artificial intelligence-focused computer chip research, development, prototyping, testing and simulation.
The META Center is a $850 million new R&D institute at NY CREATES in Albany. New York State will invest $250 million to leverage a $600 million, seven-year commitment from Applied Materials to fund materials engineering R&D, prototyping and pilot projects in fields like virtual intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, semiconductors and advanced optics.

NYS leaders and Tokyo Electron announce another $250 million investment to support a seven year reauthorization of the TEL Technology Center America. This investment followed NYS investing $87 million in a grant grant to TEL to help it upgrade its clean room facilities at the Albany site of NY CREATES to develop chip manufacturing for sub-7 nanometer chip architecture.
This critical milestone will enable G450C founding members and CNSE to perform 10 nanometer (1 nanometer is a billionth of a meter) and smaller size photolithography on full silicon wafers, while optimizing tool configuration and performance.
Members of International SEMATECH and State leaders commit to a third round of the SEMATECH North program, investing $300 million to fund another five years of advanced manufacturing R&D at the NY CREATES Albany headquarters.
New York and IBM invest another $300 million to renew the commitment to the Center for Semiconductor Research (CSR), extending the agreement for research and development for another seven years.
NYS Leaders and Tokyo Electron announce $300 million investment in the TEL Technology Center America II, a renewal of the major supply chain R&D initiative at the NY CREATES Albany site. This commitment renews the investment in the site by TEL for another seven years.
NYS and industry leaders announce a new commitment of $300 million to support the next round of International SEMATECH North for five more years.
