From smartphones to national security, the success of the semiconductor industry in the United States is crucial to the country’s economy and standing on the global stage. However, with growing dependence on international suppliers over recent decades, questions are being asked of the U.S. over whether it can reclaim its chip dominance and maintain its technological lead. The U.S. is not alone in having to contend with shifting demands, supply chain imbalances, and geopolitical factors, throwing the semiconductor industry into the spotlight. As such, governments including the U.S. have recognized the need for action, developing action plans and policies to safeguard the supply of one of the world’s most critical technologies.
