Apple announces a $500 billion U.S. investment, including a new 250,000 sq ft AI server manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas and Data Center expansion on current portfolio

Event information

- Apple has unveiled plans to invest over $500 billion in the U.S. economy over the next four years, aiming to create 20,000 new jobs in research and development, silicon engineering, software development, and artificial intelligence (AI). A key component of this initiative is the construction of a 250,000-square-foot manufacturing facility near Houston, Texas, dedicated to producing AI servers for Apple's data centers. This facility, developed in collaboration with Foxconn, is expected to commence production later this year and open in 2026, reducing Apple's reliance on overseas manufacturing. The investment plan also includes doubling Apple's Advanced Manufacturing Fund to $10 billion and launching a manufacturing academy in Detroit to train the next generation of U.S. manufacturers.
