At ASU Thunderbird School of Global Management

One Global Place, 401 North 1st Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85004

The panel will discuss introduce the ITSI project and the international delegation from Vietnam, Philippines, and Costa Rica will present their national semiconductor roadmaps and vision to establish bi-lateral partnerships followed by an interactive discussion with the audience.  A networking reception will follow the event.

As part of the U.S. Chips and Science Act, the International Technology Security and Innovation (ITSI) Fund, appropriated under the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) Act of 2022, provides the Department of State with $500 million — $100 million per year over five years to promote the development to ensure the semiconductor ATP supply chain security and diversification.

In February 2024, The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs awarded a 2-year, $13.8 million cooperative agreement to ASU under the International Technology Security and Innovation (ITSI) Fund, to diversify the global semiconductor supply chain. The project objective is to bolster the assembly, testing, and packaging (ATP) capabilities in ITSI partner countries in the Americas (Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama) and Indo-Pacific (Indonesia, Philippines, and Vietnam), enhancing a resilient supply chain for U.S. semiconductor manufacturers.
