Launch of Americas Partnership for Economic Prosperity’s Semiconductor Workforce Symposium: Expanding the Supplier Ecosystem
On July 17,2024, Secretary Blinken announced at the America’s Partnership for Economic Prosperity Ministerial the U.S. Department of State and Mexico’s Secretariat of Economy would host the Americas Partnership Semiconductor Symposium: Expanding the Supplier Ecosystem on September 5-6, 2024, in Mexico City. The Symposium will focus on expanding and diversifying the semiconductor assembly, testing, and packaging (ATP) ecosystem in Americas Partnership countries.
A secure semiconductor supply chain ecosystem in the Western Hemisphere is critical to the Biden Administration’s goals, including the successful implementation of the CHIPS Act. The Symposium will bring together industry, particularly small and medium-sized suppliers, governments, academia, and labor to identify key challenges, explore emerging opportunities, and develop strategies for sustainable growth and collaboration in this critical industry. These efforts will work towards achieving one of the Americas Partnership’s priority goals of bolstering the semiconductor industry and capacity in the Western Hemisphere. This event builds upon the Americas Partnership Semiconductor Workforce Symposium: Building Technical Capacity for a Skilled 21st Century Workforce, hosted in Costa Rica in January 2024.
Under President Biden’s leadership, the U.S. Department of State is committed to working with Americas Partnership countries to explore opportunities to grow and diversify the global semiconductor ecosystem, including through the International Technology Security and Innovation (ITSI) Fund, created by the CHIPS Act of 2022. These efforts will support collaboration with countries on a suite of new diplomatic and capacity-building programs to create a more resilient, secure, and sustainable global semiconductor supply chain.
