“CHIPS for America is a once-in-a-generation investment that will position the United States to lead the world in semiconductor research, manufacturing, design, entrepreneurship and innovation for decades to come,” Secretary of Commerce Gina M. Raimondo said. “The experienced and diverse group of accomplished leaders on the Industrial Advisory Committee will help guide our approach to semiconductor research and innovation, as we strengthen America’s global competitiveness.”

The committee was established by Congress as part of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act of 2021. It will give advice on the science and technology needs of the domestic microelectronics industry, research and development programs, the U.S. strategy on microelectronics research and other advanced microelectronic endeavors funded via CHIPS for America, as well as opportunities for partnerships between the public and private sectors.
