A cross-border innovation partnership

Oregon is at the center of a bold vision: the West Coast Semiconductor Corridor, a cross-border partnership linking Oregon with Canada to secure and strengthen North America’s semiconductor supply chains. A major milestone was the April 2025 trade mission, which brought 10 Canadian semiconductor firms to Oregon to forge partnerships and explore local expansion.

Canada invests in Oregon to grow its world-leading fabrication facilities and global semiconductor multinational enterprises. By integrating Canada’s cutting-edge research, the Corridor creates a vertically-integrated value chain, from R&D to high-volume manufacturing. As the anchor of this corridor, Oregon is poised to define the future of semiconductor innovation on the West Coast, cement its leadership in advanced manufacturing, and drive sustainable economic growth across the region — and partnership with Canada is helping make that happen.
