About the Semiconductor Workshop
The semiconductor industry is entering a period of unprecedented growth. So how can the U.S. scale manufacturing capacity, supply chains, and talent to meet demand while operating sustainably and competitively?
At TCIP’s semiconductor workshop, experts from academia and industry noted major opportunities for U.S. semiconductor expansion lie in building out complete ecosystems for semiconductor manufacturing in the US, including upstream supply chain partners and downstream customers in clusters around existing fabs. Our speakers discussed how Science and Technology Parks can streamline permitting and build durable local ecosystems of labor, suppliers, and infrastructure that run efficiently and are globally competitive.
