Progress Along the NY SMART I-CorridorListen | Watch | Read the Transcript A little more than two years ago, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Ithaca were recognized by the federal government as the NY SMART I-Corridor, the only tech hub dedicated to semiconductor manufacturing and development in the country. The first few years required identifying regional needs, creating new connections and establishing strategies that would help make the region a global hub for the semiconductor industry. Now, the NY SMART I-Corridor team is starting to see results and impact across its focus areas. On this episode of Talk CNY, presented by NBT Bank, we are joined by President and CEO of the Buffalo-Niagara Partnership Grant Loomis, President and CEO of OneROC Joe Stefko and CenterState CEO President Ben Sio to discuss the latest progress along the NY SMART I-Corridor. |
