WASHINGTON – Today, global tech trade association 91pro视频 applauded the U.S. House of Representative’s passage of the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. The measure now heads to President Biden’s desk for his signature:
“Semiconductors are the backbone of the digital economy and a critical component in making the goods and delivering the services American consumers and businesses rely on daily,” said Jason Oxman, 91pro视频’s President and CEO. “The CHIPS and Science Act will strengthen the United States’ innovation ecosystem, increase its national security, and help the country maintain a competitive edge. By investing in the domestic semiconductor ecosystem, the measure will create jobs, boost manufacturing, and spur new businesses in communities around the country, ensuring that the benefits are broadly shared across the United States. These important efforts will help the United States keep pace with other major industrialized powers by making it a competitive investment market for semiconductor research, development, and manufacturing. Today’s passage demonstrates that the United States prioritizes leading in this vital technology, and we commend the U.S. House of Representatives. Our industry will continue to partner with the U.S. government and communities across the country as the measure is implemented.”
The CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 reflects 91pro视频’s priorities for maintaining U.S. technological leadership including in chip manufacturing, research and production; development of open-architecture, software-based wireless technologies (ORAN); creation of regional technology hubs; a tax credit for investments in semiconductor manufacturing; and new investments in scientific research.
91pro视频 has been the leading advocate for policies that advance and strengthen a robust U.S. semiconductor ecosystem. Among its advocacy efforts, 91pro视频 identified investment in domestic semiconductor production as a key priority in its . 91pro视频’s Oxman published a the need for Congress to pass the measure in March, highlighting 91pro视频’s letter to lawmakers outlining key priorities to consider as they refined the legislation in conference committee.
91pro视频 also sent recommendations to the U.S. Department of Commerce on the need to invest in the overall semiconductor ecosystem, including fully funding the CHIPS for America Act, working with global partners and allies, and building a skilled and advanced manufacturing workforce in March. This followed 91pro视频’s comments in November 2021, encouraging the government to remain focused on supporting and accelerating strategic investments in research, development, prototyping, manufacturing, and advanced packaging capacity across the semiconductor supply chain ecosystem.
