# Switzerland is reportedly raising $250 million to build a semiconductor factory

> Switzerland's top research institutions are negotiating with arms manufacturers such as Rheinmetall to raise $250 million to establish a semiconductor factory named "Chip FabLab." The consortium aims to complete the financing by the end of the year and begin operations in early 2028, with the goal of providing high-performance chips for radar systems and weaponry

Switzerland's top research institutions are in preliminary negotiations with arms manufacturers, including Rheinmetall, to raise funds for the establishment of a $250 million semiconductor factory. Documents show that a consortium composed of Swiss institutions recently proposed to build the chip development and manufacturing facility in the suburbs of Zurich. The documents state that the consortium plans to seek funding support from government agencies and "large industrial companies." The project is named "Chip FabLab," and the consortium aims to complete financing by the end of the year and begin operations in early 2028. Several informed sources involved in the project indicated that they are actively engaging with well-known defense companies such as Rheinmetall and Thales, which may apply high-performance chips in radar systems and weaponry
