Department of Commerce Establishes Industrial Advisory Committee for Microelectronics
The Industrial Advisory Committee will consist of expert leaders representing a range of organization sizes from industry, federal laboratories, and academic institutions.
The U.S. Commerce Department has established a high-level committee to advise the U.S. government on matters related to microelectronics research, development, manufacturing, and policy and is now seeking to recruit top-level candidates to serve on the committee. A formal notice describing the Industrial Advisory Committee (IAC) and the call for nominations appears in the Federal Register.
“Microelectronics are enabling technologies for industries of the future, like artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, 5G and quantum computing,” said Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. “With President Biden’s commitment to ensuring that the United States remains a global leader in microelectronics manufacturing and research, we are at a pivotal moment with the opportunity to bolster our economic strength, security and technological standing. This committee will provide the necessary practical, expert advice from industry, academia and government to help us get this right.”
