What makes Phoenix and Arizona such a hotbed for innovation for semiconductors and advanced packaging? Was it an overnight success? Our panel "CHIPS Act and the Arizona Innovation Economy" gave us a history lesson on where this ecosystem all started! Thank you to Chris Bailey, ASU Professor, Jason Conrad, COO of AZ SWAP Hub, Sean Fogarty, VP of International Business Development Greater Phoenix Economic Council, Scott Hayes, Technical Director at NXP Semiconductors, Tim Olson, CEO / Founder of DECA, and Curtis Zwenger, Treasurer, IMAPS/ VP, Engineering and Technical Marketing, Amkor Technology, Inc. I learned a lot about the history microelectronics in the Valley that dates almost 40 years ago. The future looks bright for Arizona, led by Arizona State University as the technology incubator and growing producer of technical graduates.
