The 21st century’s critical technologies

Semiconductors are ubiquitous. The 21st century’s most advanced technologies rely on semiconductors. They control power and communication systems, connecting and operating everything from refrigerators and cellphones to cars, pacemakers, satellites. They enable complex sensing, performance, data storage, retrieval, add functionality, improve energy efficiency and reduce cost. The competitiveness of every industry the Canadian economy relies on – from agriculture and natural resources to advanced manufacturing and automotives – depends to some degree on semiconductor technology.

FABrIC’s mandate is to accelerate the development of semiconductor products and develop semiconductor manufacturing capability domestically.

The goal is to increase Canadian-built solutions in the semiconductor supply chain to enhance the resilience of Canadian industry and increase the economic footprint of the semiconductor industry in Canada.

Canada’s place in the world’s largest and most complicated supply chain

The semiconductor supply chain is one of the world’s largest and most complicated. It draws on highly specialized materials, components, manufacturing equipment, expertise and processes to design, fabricate, assemble, package, and test finished chips.

That supply chain includes globally recognized names like TSMC, Samsung and Intel, whose fabs and foundries produce hundreds of millions of CMOS chips annually. But it also includes a growing demand for niche technologies where Canada has significant strengths.  Our expertise in photonics, MEMS, compound semiconductors and quantum technology gives Canada the opportunity to be a significant player in the global supply chain.

FABrIC’s role is to stimulate and accelerate those opportunities. And now, we’d like to introduce you to our May 2026 cohort:
