British-Based ARM Inc. Expands Austin, Texas, Operations

02/15/2026
British-based semiconductor and intellectual-property company Arm Inc. plans to expand its operations in Austin, Texas. The more than $71 million project is expected to create more than 320 jobs.

The investment at the company's existing facility will include a new semiconductor lab with failure analysis capabilities.

“Austin is home to Arm’s largest U.S. site and is a rapidly growing center for advanced chip design,” said Arm CEO Rene Haas. “This investment from the Governor’s Office accelerates that momentum and strengthens Texas’ position as a global semiconductor leader. We’re expanding our labs, strengthening our capabilities, and creating hundreds of new roles — building the future of computers and AI in the U.S. and developing the next generation of semiconductor talent.”

To support the project the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund awarded a grant of $4,162,550 to the company.

“Texas is where the world innovates,” noted Texas Governor Greg Abbott. “This $71 million expansion of Arm's engineering and innovation hub in Austin will create hundreds of skilled jobs and enhance Texas’ leadership in semiconductor design and manufacturing. Partnering with industry leaders, Texas is investing in the tech advances of tomorrow - today.”

ARM Inc. (more formally known as Arm Holdings plc) designs energy-efficient processor architectures and related technologies used by semiconductor manufacturers and device makers. The company develops and licenses core CPU, GPU, and system-IP designs.
