Washington, D.C. — June 29, 2026 — America250, the national nonpartisan organization charged by Congress to lead the commemoration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, today announced a partnership with Intel, a global technology leader and the only U.S.-based, leading-edge chip manufacturer that researches, develops, and manufactures advanced AI and logic semiconductors in the United States.
For nearly six decades, Intel has been at the forefront of American innovation, helping shape the digital age through breakthroughs in semiconductor technology, computing, and manufacturing. Since its founding in 1968, the company has pioneered technologies that have transformed industries, accelerated scientific discovery, and powered generations of technological advancement. Today, Intel’s U.S. chip manufacturing presence spans research, development, advanced packaging and manufacturing operations across Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, California, and planned site in Ohio, supporting American jobs and strengthening the country’s innovation ecosystem.
As the United States marks its Semiquincentennial, Intel continues to invest in the technologies that will define the country’s next era of growth. AI is creating unprecedented demand for advanced compute, secure supply chains and energy-efficient infrastructure. Intel is helping meet that demand through its U.S.-based research, development and manufacturing footprint, its investments in advanced process technology and packaging, and its open, end-to-end approach to AI, spanning silicon, systems and software.
The company continues to invest more than $100 billion to expand semiconductor manufacturing capacity in the United States, strengthening supply chain resilience, supporting long-term economic growth, and reinforcing America’s leadership in semiconductor innovation. These investments include next-generation technologies such as Intel 18A, now in high-volume U.S. production, designed to enable secure, high-performance systems for critical applications.
“As we mark America’s 250th anniversary, partnerships like this highlight the companies helping build our nation’s future,” said Rosie Rios, Chair of America250. “For nearly six decades, Intel has been at the forefront of American innovation, transforming breakthrough ideas into technologies that power our economy and strengthen our global competitiveness. Their commitment to expanding advanced semiconductor manufacturing in the United States reflects the ingenuity, resilience, and determination that have propelled America forward for 250 years and will continue to shape our next century of progress.”
As part of the partnership, Intel will support America250 initiatives that celebrate American innovation, technological achievement, and the builders shaping the future. The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to inspiring the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, scientists, and engineers whose ideas will drive progress for decades to come.
“As the United States enters its 250th year, it is not only a moment to reflect on the country’s history, but also to invest in the technologies that will shape its future,” said Robin Colwell, Senior Vice President of Global Government Affairs at Intel. “Intel’s commitment to advancing AI semiconductor innovation and expanding U.S. manufacturing is grounded in that future—one where American technology leadership fuels economic opportunity, strengthens supply chains, and advances global competitiveness.”
Today, Intel is advancing the innovations that will power the intelligence era, expanding U.S.-based research, development, and manufacturing while scaling AI across an open, end-to-end compute platform, from silicon to systems to software. Through its continued investments in American innovation and manufacturing, Intel is helping ensure the United States remains a global leader in technology, economic competitiveness, and scientific advancement.
