Marvell

Invest Ontario is supporting a major expansion by Marvell Technology, which plans to invest $238 million over five years to grow its semiconductor R&D workforce in Ontario. The agency intends to provide a grant of up to $17 million, pending a final agreement.

The initiative would create up to 350 jobs, add an 8,000-square-foot optical lab, and establish a new office near the University of Toronto while scaling operations in York Region and Ottawa. Officials say the project strengthens Ontario’s semiconductor sector as AI-driven data centre demand rises. Marvell cited Ontario’s talent as a key draw.

Silicon Valley’s Marvell Technologies, a leading data-centre hardware firm, plans to more than double its Canadian workforce, reaching 650 employees over the next five years. Currently employing 270 staff in Ontario and British Columbia, Marvell is expanding due to growing demand for AI-related hardware.

The firm’s Canadian offices focus on R&D, building connectivity, security, and networking capabilities for AI chips and office-network equipment. Country manager Nizar Rida highlighted Canada’s deep hardware expertise as a key reason for the expansion.
