GF Accelerate is our venture investment program focused on early-stage semiconductor and deep-tech innovation. Backing the founders building what comes next Through strategic limited-partner commitments and direct collaborations with leading venture platforms across the U.S., Europe and Singapore, we align long-term capital with the real-world technology, engineering and manufacturing expertise required to turn breakthrough ideas into industrial-scale reality. From university spin-offs to seed and Series A ventures, GF Accelerate gives founders early access to the people, platforms and process knowledge that bridge invention and volume production — and gives GF an early line of sight into the technologies that will define the next wave of AI data center, Physical AI, autonomous systems and next-generation communications. Our principles - Manufacturing first: Great ideas only scale when they can be built. We back founders whose roadmaps can be grounded in real fab realities — manufacturability, integration and the path to volume. - Long-term capital, long-term partnership: Deep tech rewards patience. We invest with horizons that match the science and stay engaged well beyond the term sheet. - Domain-aligned: We focus where our differentiated technologies — FDX, RF, silicon photonics and power — give portfolio companies a structural advantage, and where their work sharpens our own roadmap. - Ecosystem over transaction: We partner with experienced venture leaders rather than going it alone, deepening the broader startup ecosystem in every region where we operate. - Strategic, not speculative: Every commitment is evaluated against the technologies that will underpin AI data centers, Physical AI, automotive, industrial and next-generation communications — markets where GF already leads. Where we’re focused The next generation of essential semiconductors is being shaped by founders working at the edges of what’s possible. GF Accelerate engages early in the areas most aligned with our roadmap and our customers’ future needs. - Advanced power - Optical communications & circuit switching - Neuromorphic computing for Physical AI - Quantum computing Connect with us to learn more about GF Accelerate and partnership opportunities.
