TCIP’s Second Annual Summer Retreat a Success
July 14, 2026
BERKELEY, CA — This summer, we brought together dozens of leaders from across academia and industry to discuss strategies for U.S. technology leadership. Panelists presented recommendations for increasing supply chain efficiency, coordinating and localizing suppliers, building industrial capacity, collaborating with allies, preserving U.S. labor market dynamism, and readying U.S. manufacturing for increasing AI demand. Key highlights included strategic recommendations for the large-scale implementation of critical technologies, such as semiconductors and quantum computing, to meet global energy, industrial and infrastructural needs.
