Leading U.S. companies Apple, Ford, Medtronic, NVIDIA and SpaceX strengthen partnerships with TI to unleash the next era of American innovation
Texas Instruments (TI) plans to invest over $60 billion across seven U.S. semiconductor fabs, marking the largest investment in foundational semiconductor manufacturing in U.S. history.
Working with the Trump administration and building on nearly a century of legacy, TI is expanding its U.S. manufacturing capacity to meet the rising demand for semiconductors that drive innovations in vehicles, smartphones, and data centers. The new mega-sites in Texas and Utah will support more than 60,000 U.S. jobs.
“TI is building dependable, low-cost 300mm capacity at scale to deliver the analog and embedded processing chips that are vital for nearly every electronic system,” said Haviv Ilan, president and CEO of Texas Instruments. “Leading U.S. companies like Apple, Ford, Medtronic, NVIDIA, and SpaceX depend on TI’s world-class technology and manufacturing expertise. We are proud to collaborate with them and the U.S. government to unlock the future of American innovation.”
Unleashing what’s next in American innovation
Today, TI is the largest manufacturer of foundational semiconductors in the U.S., producing critical analog and embedded processing chips for smartphones, vehicles, data centers, satellites, and nearly every electronic device. To keep up with the growing need for these chips, TI is leveraging its legacy of technological leadership and expanding its U.S. manufacturing footprint to help its customers pioneer future breakthroughs.
Igniting intelligence with Apple
“Texas Instruments’ American-made chips help bring Apple products to life, and together, we’ll continue to create opportunity, drive innovation, and invest in the future of advanced manufacturing across the U.S.,” said Apple CEO Tim Cook.
Fueling the future with Ford
“Ford and TI are collaborating to strengthen American manufacturing. By combining Ford’s automotive expertise with TI’s semiconductor technology, we’re driving innovation and building a resilient, domestic supply chain for future mobility,” said Jim Farley, President and CEO of Ford Motor Company.
Connecting patient care with Medtronic
“Medtronic and TI are partnering to improve lives when it matters most. “At Medtronic, our life-saving medical technologies rely on semiconductors to deliver precision, performance, and innovation at scale,” said Geoff Martha, Medtronic chairman and CEO. “TI has been a vital partner—especially during the global chip shortages—helping us maintain supply and accelerate breakthrough therapies. We’re proud to leverage TI’s U.S.-manufactured semiconductors as we work to transform healthcare and improve patient outcomes worldwide.”
Advancing AI with NVIDIA
“NVIDIA is partnering with TI to unlock the next generation of AI architectures. “NVIDIA and TI share the goal of revitalizing U.S. manufacturing by building more infrastructure for AI factories at home,” said Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA. “We look forward to continuing our collaboration with TI in developing products for advanced AI systems.”
Securing high-speed satellite internet with SpaceX
“SpaceX is increasingly using TI’s high-speed process technology to connect its Starlink satellite internet service with … SiGe technology manufactured in Sherman, Texas. Our mission is to revolutionize global connectivity and bridge the digital divide. Pushing the limits of what’s possible is core to this mission,” said Gwynne Shotwell, president and COO of SpaceX. “SpaceX makes tens of thousands of Starlink kits every day—right here in the U.S. We’re investing heavily in PCB manufacturing and silicon packaging to expand further. TI’s U.S.-made semiconductors are crucial for securing our U.S. supply chain, and their advanced silicon manufacturing provides the performance and reliability we need to meet the rising global demand for high-speed internet.”
