Apple invests 500 billion in the United States, 20 thousand hires

Apple has made public an investment plan in the United States for a value of more than 500 billion dollars in the next four years. This plan provides for the hiring of 20,000 new employees and the opening of a new Texas server production plant. The announcement took place following a meeting between the CEO TIM Cook and institutional figures and is placed in a context of mitigation of the impact of the commercial rates imposed on the assets imported from China. The announcement resumes similar initiatives undertaken by the company previously. In this circumstance, the company has provided the details of some concrete elements of the investment plan. The most relevant is the construction of a new plant in Houston, with opening for next year, intended for the production of server for feeding artificial intelligence features. The company estimates that this plant will create thousands of jobs.

In addition, a doubling of the US fund for advanced production is expected, bringing it to 10 billion dollars. This fund, established to support innovation and employment in the highly specialized manufacturing sector, will also be intended for the order of chip by a TSMC plant in Arizona. In terms of hiring, 20,000 new employees are expected, mainly concentrated in research and development, semiconductor engineering, software development and artificial intelligence. An Apple Manufacturing Academy will also be inaugurated in Detroit, with the aim of providing consultancy to local businesses on the implementation of artificial intelligence techniques and intelligent production, as well as free training courses for workers. The company has expressed optimism regarding the future of US innovation and underlined its commitment to support American production. The announcement is in the wake of previous investment initiatives in the United States.
