What factors are considered when Intel determines where to build future factories?
As standard procedure, Intel strategically evaluates locations around the world for potential future expansion. The due diligence required to effectively evaluate a location can require a team of experts to meet with a variety of people throughout the community. Intel uses this information to determine which locations might best meet our needs, but it should not be construed as confirmation that a particular location might be selected. Intel’s site selection process is very comprehensive and involves detailed assessments of several criteria, which include the land’s physical characteristics or constructability, local utility infrastructure, transportation capability, technical workforce, construction and supplier capabilities, permitting and investment conditions.
