Event Series: Semiconductor Industry Voices
About the Series
The semiconductor industry is a cornerstone of the global economy and plays a crucial role in shaping the success or failure of many other markets. The Potomac Institute for Policy Studies has focused on studying and reporting on various policy issues related to USG semiconductor access, security and US economic strength. Our aim has been on achieving a resilient supply chain of semiconductors for US needs, road mapping the distribution of CHIPS Act funds, emphasizing the importance of long-term R&D to the domestic semiconductor industry, and the role of semiconductors in the race for AI dominance.
As a leading voice on semiconductors and a bridge between government and industry, we launched a series of dialogues with key industry leaders. These discussions facilitated a deeper understanding of the semiconductor industry to inform and generate USG strategy for access, security and industrial policy.
