Congratulating Oregon State University
In the Congressional Record of Jul 23, 2026.
Text in the Record
(Ms. HOYLE of Oregon asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. HOYLE of Oregon. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to share that Oregon State University has received 1 of 12 National Science Foundation's Regional Innovation Engines. This investment in Oregon's semiconductor industry will strengthen educational partnerships across the State, meaningfully influence regional economic development, improve pathways to semiconductor careers, and create thousands of new high-paying, high-tech jobs outside the Portland Metro area. Oregon could receive up to $160 million to grow the State's semiconductor industry that already employs 30,000 Oregonians. Oregon's FAST coalition brings together State partners across education, government, the technology industry, nonprofits, small businesses, and investors. It will also bring our innovation corridor closer together across 12 counties and foster innovation. Demand for semiconductors is rising, and the NSF FAST Engine will help Oregon State University design the world's most advanced semiconductor chips and reaffirm our position as leaders in that space. Go Beavers.
