Nanotechnology, which develops revolutionary products by engineering materials at the molecular level, is the foundation for emerging technologies that are expected to create more than 2 million jobs and generate trillions of dollars in the future. A significant nanotech segment is nanoelectronics, which the semiconductor industry has pioneered for nearly a decade.

The Nanoelectronics Workforce Development Initiative, under the leadership of SEMATECH, ATDF, and Austin Community College, is leading the way toward developing a nanoelectronics workforce in Central Texas.
