Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund (TSIF) Applications Are Now Open

Applications for the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund (TSIF) are now available on the [Texas Economic Development & Tourism Office's website](https://gov.texas.gov/business/page/tsif).

As you may know, TSIF is a new incentive program to encourage the continued leadership of Texas in semiconductor research, design and manufacturing. The TSIF was established in June 2023 when Governor Abbott signed into law the Texas CHIPS Act (House Bill 5174), which established the TSIF as well as the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Consortium (TSIC) and the TSIC Executive Committee. The Texas Legislature appropriated $698.3 million to the TSIF.

The TSIF will provide grants and matching funds to eligible entities for semiconductor research, manufacturing and design projects. Eligible entities include state entities, including institutions of higher education, and private businesses planning new or expanded semiconductor manufacturing and design projects.

Please feel free to reach out to the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund program team with any questions you may have at TSIF@gov.texas.gov.
