A Strategic U.S. Location for Advanced Production
Texas First offers international semiconductor and technology manufacturers a coordinated path for evaluating U.S. operations. Companies can review industrial buildings, greenfield sites, utility availability, transportation infrastructure and regional supplier networks through one regional point of contact. That structure helps simplify a complex location process and presents the region as one connected business destination rather than a collection of separate communities.
Semiconductor and technology manufacturing projects often require dependable electric service, water, wastewater, broadband and carefully planned sites with room for secure operations and future expansion. Texas First can help companies identify properties that align with project-specific infrastructure requirements and coordinate early conversations with utility providers, local governments and development partners. Existing industrial buildings and greenfield opportunities give companies flexibility in determining the best route to market.
Technology manufacturing depends on a workforce capable of supporting precision production, automation, equipment maintenance, quality control and documented processes. Texas First can help international companies evaluate workforce availability, wage data and training resources across the region. The organization can also connect employers with universities, colleges, technical institutions and workforce partners that support engineering, automation, precision production, equipment maintenance and other specialized talent needs, while also helping identify regional suppliers that can support operations.
Highway, rail, port and airport access help technology manufacturers move equipment, components and finished products efficiently. These connections also support relationships with customers, suppliers and corporate teams across the United States, Europe, Asia, and other global markets. Because international air access and broader transportation connectivity are recurring priorities among global investors, Texas First can provide verified, project-specific information as companies compare locations.
Eligible semiconductor and technology manufacturing projects may be considered for performance-based local, state and federal assistance. Potential programs can include infrastructure participation, utility support, workforce training grants, manufacturing sales tax exemptions and the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund, along with other project-specific tools. Each opportunity is evaluated individually based on investment, employment, infrastructure requirements and long-term community benefit.
