Apple is making a bold move with a $500 billion investment in the U.S. over the next four years. This massive commitment will fuel manufacturing, artificial intelligence and workforce development, creating thousands of jobs and cementing Apple’s role in advancing American tech.
Apple announced plans to open a 250,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Houston by 2026, producing energy-efficient servers for Apple Intelligence. This expansion brings critical AI infrastructure back to U.S. soil, enhancing security and performance.
Additionally, Apple is doubling its U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund to $10 billion, including a multibillion-dollar investment in TSMC’s Arizona plant for advanced chip production. The site already employs over 2,000 workers, highlighting Apple’s commitment to reshoring semiconductor manufacturing.
To bridge the skills gap, Apple is launching a manufacturing academy in Detroit. In partnership with Michigan State, the academy will train workers in AI and smart manufacturing techniques, offering free courses on production efficiency and process optimization.
Apple is also expanding STEM education, working with 4-H, Boys & Girls Clubs and FIRST Robotics to provide coding and engineering training for young innovators. The company’s New Silicon Initiative now includes UCLA, preparing students for careers in chip design.
Over the next four years, Apple will hire 20,000 employees, primarily in AI, silicon engineering and software development. Major investments in R&D hubs across the country will strengthen Apple’s position as a leader in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
With $75 billion in U.S. taxes paid over the past five years and 2.9 million jobs supported through direct employment and supplier partnerships, Apple’s commitment to the U.S. economy is stronger than ever.
“We are bullish on the future of American innovation, and we’re proud to build on our long-standing U.S. investments with this $500 billion commitment to our country’s future,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “From doubling our Advanced Manufacturing Fund, to building advanced technology in Texas, we’re thrilled to expand our support for American manufacturing. And we’ll keep working with people and companies across this country to help write an extraordinary new chapter in the history of American innovation.”
