Semiconductors are in almost everything we buy – not just smartphones and computers, but cars and dishwashers too – and they are all over the news right now. Shortages during the pandemic exposed just how fragile our supply of this critical technology is. To bolster America’s semiconductor security, Congress passed the CHIPS and Science Act in 2022. The Biden Administration has been working to implement this landmark law - an undertaking that touches on US technology policy, workforce development, and national security. We've organized a great panel on June 3 at The Aspen Institute's DC office to take stock of how this massive effort is going and to discuss what’s next, featuring: Michael Schmidt, Director of the @Chips for Am CHIPS Program Office at the US Department of Commerce Chris Miller, Author of Chip War, the authoritative book on the history of the semiconductor industry Greg Ip, the Chief Economics Correspondent at The Wall Street Journal Timothy Geithner, 74th Secretary of the Treasury and Aspen Economic Strategy Group Co-Chair, will offer opening remarks.
