FABrIC Mission
Build a vibrant and sustainable Canadian Semiconductor Ecosystem with world-class talent and global impact.
FABrIC is a five-year, $223M project to secure Canada’s future in semiconductors. FABrIC will lower barriers faced by Canadian companies to develop semiconductor manufacturing processes, to create semiconductor Internet-connected products and services (IoT), and to export into a global market.
FABrIC will build the national ecosystem and will foster collaboration between industry, not-for-profits, academics, and government and leverage Canada’s technological reputation, strengths, and existing assets.
The FABrIC project is an Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) investment.
Powered by CMC Microsystems
In its 40-year history, the organization has been at the forefront of technological change, managing federal and provincial government investments to introduce advanced technology, to support research, and to impact Canada’s industrial high-tech landscape.
