Northeast Regional Defense Technology Hub (NORDTECH), a regional consortium of government labs, defense companies, academic institutions, and technology manufacturing organizations in New York State and one of eight hubs composing the U.S. Microelectronics Commons program, is proud to announce that four innovative projects have been selected by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to receive significant federal funding. These projects are set to receive a total of more than $30 million in the technical areas of quantum and commercial leap ahead technologies. The dedicated work on these advanced projects is already underway.  

By supporting initiatives like the Warrior-Scholar Project and Vet S.T.E.P., NORDTECH is committed to empowering veterans with the skills, experiences, and confidence they need to transition into meaningful civilian careers—particularly within the semiconductor industry, a field that is essential to U.S. national security and technological leadership.
