New Jersey is taking a bold step to position itself at the forefront of artificial intelligence innovation: Governor Phil Murphy recently signed legislation establishing the Next New Jersey Program, an initiative designed to attract investment and spur growth in the state's AI sector.
The program, which will be administered by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA), offers tax credits to eligible businesses engaged in AI-related work or large-scale AI data centers. At Align, we have delivered large AI projects for a number of clients, making us an ideal partner for those looking to take advantage of these incentives.
Key Points of the Next New Jersey Program:
- Tax Incentives: Eligible AI businesses can receive tax credits to support their growth and development in New Jersey.
- Broad AI Focus: The program covers a wide range of AI activities, including:
- Creating AI-powered software and hardware products
- Large-scale artificial intelligence data centers
- Economic Growth: The initiative is expected to unlock access to capital for New Jersey's innovators and entrepreneurs, fostering a strong AI ecosystem in the state.
- Infrastructure Development: The program ensures that AI companies have access to the necessary infrastructure for cutting-edge developments.
The program represents a significant opportunity for AI companies considering expansion or relocation. As these businesses look to take advantage of the state's incentives, they'll need to consider the infrastructure required to support advanced AI operations.
Data centers optimized for AI workloads will play a crucial role in this expansion.
