Although it was mentioned that there will be three states that already have a letter of intent to be part of the program, it has not been confirmed which entities will be the beneficiaries. But he highlights that the GDC, located in Jalisco, will be an angular part of this collaboration.
Regarding the investment that Intel and the SE will make, the first will be in charge of providing knowledge about technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, while the second will focus on promoting this knowledge to reach more young people. In addition to continuing to create agreements and alliances with companies and governments, according to his secretary.
“We know that the semiconductor industry has been affected and that is why we are looking for this type of alliance (…) at the moment we already have Singapore as a partner to strengthen our innovation and we are also seeking to create a treaty with Korea, in order to that we can cooperate,” Clouthier said.
Those interested in this agreement will be part of the AI for youth global program, which has already had an impact on more than 1,700 engineers in the country, according to Palomino.
“The confidence that exists in the country is reflected in the investment that there is in the GDC this year, which is 8 million dollars and with which it will seek to renew the laboratory and hire more talent,” Palomino pointed out.
For more than 20 years, Intel Mexico has played a fundamental role in this supply chain through its highly specialized center, the Intel Guadalajara Design Center, where the component design and validation processes are carried out.
And although this is good news for vehicle manufacturers, the benefit and impact of Mexican talent will not yet have the result of creating more semiconductors at this time within the country.
Santiago Cardona announced that it is expected that “at some point in 2023” the supply and demand for semiconductors will level off.
Cardona specified that Intel’s investment is in the development of talent, which translates into economic benefits for Mexico. “Since we have been operating in Mexico, in Guadalajara, we have had an economic impact of 1,000 million dollars. By investing in talent, in this transfer, it will generate economic development and profit”, he assured.
