The Virginia Alliance for Semiconductor Technology (VAST), led by Virginia Tech, was created to elevate Virginia as a leader on the forefront of the burgeoning semiconductor industry. Based in Northern Virginia with a network spanning the entire Commonwealth, VAST will leverage the region's existing strength as home to about 75-percent of Virginia's semiconductor industries.
The semiconductor alliance will serve industry and the semiconductor, microelectronics, and nanotechnology ecosystem by creating a collaborative network of Virginia's preeminent universities to provide easy access to state-of-the-art research facilities across the Commonwealth of Virginia and provide valuable certifications to bolster workforce access in these rapidly evolving fields.
