A Talented Community

Intel selected the Columbus Region because it has all the necessary pieces to sustain major manufacturing operations.

Colleges and universities across the state have committed to chip-specific programs to fuel the talent pipeline.

Within a one-day drive of 45% of the U.S. population, Ohio is the perfect strategic location to bolster the supply chain.
