The Straits Times | 9 January 2025
SINGAPORE – American tech giant Micron Technology has broken ground for what will be Singapore’s first plant producing advanced semiconductors vital for artificial intelligence (AI) applications.
The US$7 billion (S$9.5 billion) high-bandwidth memory (HBM) packaging facility in Woodlands will initially create around 1,400 new jobs and eventually up to 3,000 positions as expansion plans unfold, said chief executive and president Sanjay Mehrotra.
Operations are scheduled to start in 2026, with the expansion of packaging capacity beginning in 2027. The company already employs around 9,000 people here.
