New Origin chip factory may proceed in Enschede
New Origin’s chip factory may still be built in Enschede, in the Netherlands.
The planned site is at Kennispark, a business and research park in the city.
The project faced shortages of electricity and industrial water at the site last summer.
New Origin responded by looking at possible production locations outside Twente, the region where Enschede is located.
A solution to the power and water problems could allow the plans to proceed, though no details are given.
