"AI is driving a generational shift in technology, transforming every industry and creating a unique opportunity to reinvigorate American manufacturing and supply chains," commented Debora Shoquist, Executive Vice President of Operations at Nvidia.

The expanded collaboration aims to bring new technologies to market at scale. Kevin Engel, chief executive officer of Amkor Technology, stated that the strategic partnership underscores the central role advanced packaging plays in enabling the future of AI and accelerates the company's long-term roadmap while expanding U.S. capabilities to support AI infrastructure.
