The National Security Institute was excited to host our event in NSI’s Technology Innovation and American National Security Project, Fabricating the Future: The Importance of Semiconductors to U.S. National Security.


On Wednesday, June 16, from 2 – 3 PM ET NSI hosted a panel featuring how the U.S. can build a robust and resilient supply chain featuring: Ritu Favre, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Semiconductor and Electronics at NI [National Instruments], John Neuffer, President and CEO of the Semiconductor Industry Association, and Sarah Stewart, Executive Director of the Silverado Policy Accelerator.


Semiconductors are the bedrock of nearly all modern industrial activities and the building blocks of advanced technologies; they are used in everything from cell phones and cars to military equipment and weapons. This past year, the demand for electronics soared, leaving the world in the midst of a global semiconductor shortage and illuminating supply chain security issues, including U.S. dependence on foreign foundries. Watch our panel for a timely and important discussion as experts weigh in what the U.S. government and the private sector can do to address semiconductor supply chain insecurity.
