On the morning of September 26, Beijing time, it was reported that Intel, an American semiconductor giant, was preparing to build a chip packaging plant in Italy with an investment of billions of euros. According to two insiders, the Italian government and Intel have finalized the town of Vigasio in the Veneto region in northeastern Italy as the site for the chip factory.
北京时间9月26日上午，据报道，美国半导体巨头英特尔公司正准备在意大利建立一家投资数十亿欧元的芯片包装厂。
Intel's chip packaging plant in Italy is part of its large European investment plan. Last March, the company announced that it would invest 80 billion euros (about 77.5 billion dollars) in Europe to deploy semiconductor capacity in the next decade.
两位知情人士透露，意大利政府和英特尔已经决定在意大利东北部威尼托地区的小镇维加西奥（Vigasio），作为芯片厂的选址，英特尔在意大利建造的芯片包装厂是欧洲大型投资计划的一部分。去年3月，该公司宣布，未来十年将在欧洲投资800亿欧元（约775亿美元），部署半导体产能。
The initial investment of Italian chip packaging plant is 4.5 billion euros, and the investment will be expanded in the future. Intel said that the factory will create 1500 direct jobs and 3500 indirect jobs through suppliers and partners. The plant will be completed and put into operation between 2025 and 2027.
意大利芯片包装厂的初始投资为45亿欧元，未来将扩大投资。英特尔表示，该工厂将创造1500个直接就业机会，并通过供应商和合作伙伴创造3500个间接就业机会，该工厂于2025年至2027年竣工投产。
It is reported that the main business of this Italian factory is semiconductor packaging. It will use the latest technology to package semiconductor components into a complete chip product.
据报道，这家意大利工厂的主要业务是半导体包装，它将使用最新的技术，使用半导体组件包装成一个完整的芯片产品。
The source said that at the beginning of this month, all parties involved in the project had formulated a detailed investment plan, but the plan was officially announced, and it needs to wait until after Italy's parliamentary election on September 25.
内部人士表示，本月初，项目相关各方制定了详细的投资计划，但该计划正式公布，需要等待9月25日意大利议会选举结束。
A spokesman for Intel did not comment on the investment plan, saying that the project is still in progress and needs to be kept confidential.
英特尔公司的发言人没有评论投资计划，称该项目仍在进行中，需要保密。
The location of Vegasio is close to the northern Italian city of Verona, and close to the road and railway network near Italy's Brenna Mountain. Intel and the Italian government originally developed a candidate list of two sites, including Vegasio and a city in Piemonte in northwest Italy. However, Vegasio eventually became the preferred site for all parties.
维加西奥靠近意大利北部城市维罗纳，靠近意大利勃伦纳山周围的道路和铁路网络，英特尔和意大利政府最初制定了一份包括两个地方的替代名单，除了维加西奥，还包括意大利西北部皮埃蒙特的一个城市，但维加西奥最终成为了一个受欢迎的地点。
Among other reasons, Vegas and the German city of Magdeburg have convenient transportation. A source said that Intel also plans to build two semiconductor factories in Magdeburg.
除其他原因外，维加西奥和德国城市马格德堡交通便利。一位消息人士透露，英特尔还计划在马格德堡建造两家半导体工厂。
Earlier, Intel and the Italian government also considered the location of Lombardy, Apulia and Sicily.
早些时候，英特尔和意大利政府也考虑了伦巴第、阿普利亚和西西里岛的位置。
Previously, it was reported that the Italian government would actively support Intel's semiconductor investment in the country and plan to provide 40% of the total investment.
此前有报道称，意大利政府将积极支持英特尔公司在本国的半导体投资，并计划提供40%的全部投资。
In addition, in order to develop the local semiconductor manufacturing industry in Italy, the Italian government is also actively contacting and negotiating with other semiconductor giants, including Italian French Semiconductor, Hughes Electronic Materials, TSMC and Tower Semiconductor in Italy. It should be noted that Intel has already acquired Tower Semiconductor at the beginning of this year.
此外，为了发展意大利半导体制造业，意大利政府仍在积极与其他半导体巨头进行联系和讨论，包括意大利半导体、休斯电子材料公司、台积电和意大利Tower半导体公司。需要指出的是，英特尔今年年初已经收购了Tower半导体公司。
