Nick Bruno and Mark Reynolds are representing Mohawk Valley EDGE at the 2025 Critical Materials Council (CMC) Conference in Austin Texas this week. As welcome reception sponsors, they were able to present NY's growing semiconductor ecosystem and Marcy Nanocenter's value proposition to critical materials and supply chain companies. The CMC Conference brings together semiconductor manufacturers, materials suppliers, and equipment vendors to address supply chain challenges in the electronics industry. We are thrilled to connect with the industry and find potential opportunities to expand the semiconductor supply chain here in the Mohawk Valley. (fb)
