AI + 半导体加速器和全球设计中心将吸引全球创业者,将凤凰城打造成为 AI 驱动的芯片创新、初创企业成长和先进制造业的战略门户。

2025 年 9 月 17 日,Tesoro Venture Capital 在亚利桑那州凤凰城宣布了具有里程碑意义的创业计划,该公司将作为主要运营方,负责监督加速器项目和设计中心运营。Tesoro Venture Capital 将与包括 TSMC、Cadence 和 Amkor 在内的行业合作伙伴以及凤凰城和大凤凰城经济委员会 (GPEC) 密切合作,通过以下方式推动 AI 和半导体生态系统的发展:

  1. 全球 AI + 半导体初创企业中心——这是专门设计的加速器,旨在每年启动和扩展 40-60 家深度技术初创企业。
  2. 全球半导体设计中心——与 Cadence 共同开发的先进芯片设计和原型制作设施。

Tesoro 的 AI + 半导体加速器是为推动 AI 和芯片创新的高潜力初创企业提供的启动平台。Tesoro 与生态系统合作伙伴密切合作,提供端到端的途径(从设计和原型制作到包装和大批量生产),帮助创始人缩短开发周期,推广突破性技术。该计划将创新枢纽设在凤凰城,加强了美国的竞争力,并提升了美国在关键 AI 和半导体技术领域的领先地位。

凤凰城和全球半导体生态系统的变革性影响

  • 初创企业加速: 为初创企业提供获得资金、指导和行业合作伙伴的机会,以加快发展并扩大突破性技术公司的规模。
  • 创新能力:初创企业可立即访问 Cadence 的 AI 驱动、行业领先的半导体和系统设计解决方案、3D-IC 和先进封装技术,以及加速计算资源。这些企业还受益于 TSMC 业界领先的工艺技术、Amkor 强大的先进高级封装和测试解决方案,以及凤凰城将人才、基础设施和行业领导力融合为一的创新生态系统。
  • 创造高技能工作岗位: 整个大凤凰城地区将创造数百个专业工程、设计和支持岗位。
  • 高校合作: Tesoro 及其合作伙伴将与世界一流大学合作,通过技术转让和概念验证资助,将研究突破转化为高增长的衍生产品。该计划将扩大学生、研究人员和衍生企业接触世界一流设计和制造能力的机会。
  • 全球影响力: Tesoro 将在美国、亚洲、欧洲、中东和拉丁美洲等地为初创企业和衍生企业建立全球渠道,为他们提供直接的设计、原型制作和制造途径,同时帮助他们扩大规模,成为下一代 AI + 半导体领导者。

Tesoro 将于 2026 年 2 月正式推出首批初创企业,标志着开启 AI 和半导体创新的新篇章。首批创始单位将直接进入 Tesoro 的世界级生态系统,包括设计、原型制作、制造和进入全球市场,同时与包括 TSMC、Cadence 和 Amkor 在内的战略合作伙伴携手合作。通过将加速、战略资本和深度行业整合相结合,Tesoro 2026 年 2 月的启动将为打造下一代变革性技术公司奠定基础。
