MARCY — The SUNY College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) will develop the nanocenter site in Marcy to attract manufacturers of 450-mm diameter computer chips to the Mohawk Valley.
The nanocenter site in Marcy is part of the SUNY Institute of Technology (SUNY IT).
SUNY CNSE and Mohawk Valley EDGE today announced a partnership through which CNSE will lead site development “by serving as the site end user,” according to a joint news release issued today.

Keeping Your Firm Secure on the Road to Digitization
By Dan Hernborg Sales Engineer With the looming threat of a potential recession and economic downturn, many professional service firms are looking to reduce costs and increase efficiency in preparation.
The partnership is “designed to accelerate the attraction” of such manufacturing by deploying
Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s “publicly-led and publicly-managed” public-private partnership model that he first introduced with the CNSE Global 450mm Consortium (G450C), the organizations said.
“The Marcy Nanocenter has the potential to transform the economy of the Mohawk Valley and position the region to become a global leader in the nanotechnology industry,” New York, Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy said in the news release.
“We look forward to working closely with Mohawk Valley EDGE and SUNYIT to ensure expansion of the nanotechnology research, development, commercialization, and manufacturing ecosystem in the Mohawk Valley, which is further strengthening New York’s innovation-enabled economy,” Alain Kaloyeros, senior vice president and CEO of CNSE, said in the release.
With this announcement, CNSE is “broadening” its partnership with Mohawk Valley EDGE and SUNYIT to further the agreement that Cuomo announced in 2011 to establish the G450C at CNSE, according to the news release.
Spearheaded by CNSE, the $4.8 billion G450C has brought together five global, high-tech companies — Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC), IBM (NYSE: IBM), GLOBALFOUNDRIES, Inc., Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TSMC) (NYSE: TSM), and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. — at CNSE as part of a wafer and equipment-development environment that will enable a “cost effective and timely” transition from the current 300mm wafer technology to the new 450mm technology, the news release said.
