U.S. Department of Commerce reposted this
The White House shared a statement from President Joe Biden on the CHIPS and Science Act Final Award for Polar Semiconductor. “Semiconductors – those tiny chips smaller than the tip of your finger – power everything from smartphones to cars to satellites and weapons systems. I signed the CHIPS and Science Act to revitalize American leadership in semiconductors, strengthen our supply chains, protect our national security, and advance American competitiveness. And over the last three and a half years, we have done just that, catalyzing over $400 billion in private sector investments in semiconductors and electronics that are creating over 115,000 construction and manufacturing jobs. This year alone, the United States is on pace to see more investment in electronics manufacturing construction than it did over the last 24 years combined." - President Joe Biden Read the full Statement: https://lnkd.in/g2HsG6iH #SupplyChain #Technology #NationalSecurity #Semiconductors #Electronics #Workforce #Leadership #ChipsAct
