UF’s Florida Semiconductor Institute in Jacksonville To Grow the Statewide Ecosystem

New details about the introduction of the Florida Semiconductor Institute, or FSI, in Jacksonville were presented at the University of Florida Board of Trustees meeting. Research space for FSI is expected to open in Jacksonville as early as this fall, while UF continues design and planning for a newly built FSI facility as part of the UF Jacksonville campus.

“The Florida Semiconductor Institute will be a huge asset for Jacksonville and an enormous boost for Florida’s economy, and having FSI in Jacksonville will be a huge asset for UF,” said Mori Hosseini, chair of UF’s Board of Trustees.

In October 2023, UF’s Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering announced the establishment of the FSI – a campus- and state-wide coordinating hub to provide intellectual and technological leadership for semiconductors in the 21st century.The Florida Semiconductor Institute, unveiled during a UF Board of Trustees meeting, is expected to drive innovation in semiconductor research and manufacturing.
