The Vermont Gallium Nitride Tech Hub (V-GaN Tech Hub), led by the University of Vermont, seeks to accelerate the development and adoption of high-power, high-frequency electronic devices using Gallium Nitride (GaN)-based semiconductor chips. This Tech Hub will leverage previous investments in GaN technology, regional physical assets, and technical workforce development programs to boost GaN-based device manufacturing. 

The V-GaN Tech Hub aims to position Vermont as the global pacesetter in GaN-based device manufacturing–one of the few semiconductor sectors where no clear leader has emerged.
