SUMMARY:Semiconductors and Geopolitics Symposium: The Future of the Global Semiconductor Industry
DESCRIPTION:open to Harvard ID holders – click here to register for waitlist\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n***This event is now at capacity. To add your name to the waitlist\, please click the link above. You will be notified by the event organizers if your entry can be confirmed.*** \n\n\n\nAgainst a backdrop of rising U.S.-China tensions\, both countries have accelerated policies to restrict key exports in technological areas critical to economic competitiveness. The global semiconductor industry – largely located in Taiwan – sits at the center of this struggle\, undergoing a fundamental transformation that is affecting supply chains\, investment\, trade\, labor\, national security\, and cost.  \n\n\n\nIn the U.S.\, a defensive industrial policy to limit sensitive exports is being combined with a proactive policy to coordinate with allies to revitalize the American semiconductor manufacturing industry. Spurred on by the passage of the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act of November 2022\, American and international semiconductor manufacturing companies are launching or expanding operations in emerging manufacturing hubs across the U.S. Efforts to develop the semiconductor ecosystem include constructing new manufacturing facilities\, coordinating with suppliers and downstream customers\, adapting to local regulatory environments\, and building the talent central to staffing new facilities.  \n\n\n\nYet significant challenges remain\, relating to talent shortages\, rising costs of a fragmenting supply chain\, partial ecosystems\, striking workplace differences between the U.S. and Taiwan\, and a host of other impediments to success. On Monday\, September 11th\, leading academics and industry experts will come together to discuss the challenges confronting the semiconductor industry – ranging from supply chain to industrial policy and geopolitics.  \n\n\n\n8:30am-9amWelcome: Tony Saich (Harvard Kennedy School) and W.
