Another Oregon State University spinout story. If you’ve ever wondered where Oregon’s chip-industry startups keep coming from, Oregon State just shared their contributions. Five semiconductor companies that spun out of OSU labs and now run R&D at ATAMI, the university’s Advanced Technology and Manufacturing Institute — Amorphyx, Inpria, nexTC, Phosio, and Valliscor.
The race to build faster, smaller and more efficient chips isn’t only happening inside billion-dollar fabrication plants. It’s also happening in Oregon State University laboratories, where researchers are turning scientific breakthroughs into companies that solve some of the semiconductor industry’s toughest challenges. As the U.S. works to strengthen this critical sector, OSU has a long track record of launching spinouts and commercializing new materials, manufacturing processes and specialty chemicals that help move innovation from the lab to production.
There’s more:
- OSU Advantage numbers (500-plus startup concepts, about 120 that became companies)
- NSF FAST Engine and its goal of 180 startups over the next decade
- And of course, Agility
