The Corvallis Microfluidics (CorMic) Tech Hub is an economic engine that stimulates, drives, and supports the commercialization of microfluidics-connected technologies to meet national security goals.
The CorMic Tech Hub is at the center of Oregon’s Silicon Forest, and Portland is the most concentrated locus of semiconductor manufacturing in the US. Launched in 2023 by the US Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration, the Tech Hub program is an economic development initiative designed to drive regional innovation and job creation by strengthening a region’s capacity to manufacture, commercialize, and deploy technology that will advance American national security and manufacturing competitiveness.
