A new partnership has formed in Saratoga County to attract high-tech businesses to the region. 

The Saratoga County Prosperity Partnership announced Thursday that it has partnered with the Global Semiconductor Alliance to grow the area’s high-tech economy.

The Town of Malta in Saratoga County is home to semiconductor manufacturer GlobalFoundries, which employs about 3,000 people.

The groups intend to promote the county as a hub for high-tech businesses. A GSA office is expected to open at the planned Next Wave Center to provide space for companies looking to do business in the region.
