U.S. unveils new ITSI initiative to build resilient international microelectronics supply chain
The Fulton Schools will have a major role in ASU’s involvement in a new cooperative venture being initiated under the International Technology Security and Innovation Fund created by the U.S. CHIPS Act of 2022. U.S. semiconductor manufacturers will be part of an effort to strengthen an international supply chain for their industry. As part of the effort, the U.S. Department of State has awarded ASU a multimillion-dollar cooperative agreement to help establish the agreement. The plan involves a multi-regional initiative to be led by the Fulton Schools to support the State Department’s effort to develop and diversify a global semiconductor ecosystem.
