The investment will support the construction of three new facilities and upgrades to three existing sites, focused on boosting U.S. manufacturing and research and development capacity. Of the total investment, $4 billion will be allocated to capital projects such as laboratories and equipment, $5 billion will fund technology, operations, and R&D activities, and $2 billion will support digital and advanced engineering efforts. These developments are part of Gilead’s broader plan to invest $32 billion in U.S. manufacturing and R&D through 2030, which is projected to generate $43 billion in value to the U.S. economy over five years.
