Texas is set to receive a major boost in semiconductor manufacturing as Texas Instruments (TI) announces an unprecedented investment of over $60 billion aimed at creating more than 60,000 jobs in the state and beyond. This monumental investment will see the establishment of seven new semiconductor fabrication plants, with significant locations earmarked in Sherman and Richardson, Texas, alongside a larger facility planned for Lehi, Utah.
The new facilities are part of TI’s strategy to increase domestic production capabilities in the United States, aligning with the government’s initiative to bolster American manufacturing output amid growing competition in the global semiconductor industry. TI’s investment, deemed the largest in foundational semiconductor manufacturing in U.S. history, will provide vital semiconductors and products to major technology companies such as Apple, Ford, Medtronic, NVIDIA, and SpaceX.
In collaboration with the Trump administration, TI aims to drive increased semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S. This partnership, emphasized by U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, underscores the importance of TI’s long history of innovation in the technology sector. The initiative is expected to support U.S. chip production for many years to come, helping to ensure a steady supply of crucial components essential for various industries.
Haviv Ilan, the CEO of Texas Instruments, highlighted the company’s commitment to delivering reliable, cost-effective analog and embedded processing chips. This focus on robust and low-cost manufacturing aims to meet the growing demand for semiconductors, which have become integral to modern electronics and innovations in diverse sectors.
As TI initiates this massive investment, it joins a broader trend among U.S. companies stepping up to meet the government’s call for increased domestic production. By establishing a significant manufacturing presence within the country, TI is poised to make a lasting impact on the U.S. economy, creating employment opportunities and enhancing regional technology capabilities.
In addition to Texas Instruments’ investment, the technology landscape in Texas is also seeing substantial movements from other businesses. Consulting firm BGSF plans to sell its professional division to INSPYR Solutions for $99 million. This acquisition will include BGSF’s IT, finance, managed solutions, and software engineering departments, allowing INSPYR Solutions to strengthen its technology and talent solutions portfolio.
On a different note, Addison, Texas, is set to welcome Flight Club, a social entertainment venue specializing in darts, which is anticipated to open in early 2026. This will mark the second Flight Club location in Texas, further diversifying the entertainment options available in the state.
This wave of investments and new business developments indicates a vibrant economic climate in Texas, characterized by significant job creation and an increased focus on technology and manufacturing. Texas Instruments’ historic investment in semiconductor manufacturing and the ongoing expansions of other companies reflect a momentum that can redefine the state’s economic landscape.
As the semiconductor industry continues to evolve and adapt to the needs of modern technology, TI’s commitment ensures that Texas remains at the forefront of this pivotal field. The potential to create thousands of jobs, coupled with enhanced production capabilities, highlights a promising future for Texas’s economic growth driven by advanced manufacturing initiatives.
