@Jan_TechSearch kicks off her keynote at @IPCassociation’s Advanced Packaging Symposium. Her main message: silicon fabrication is necessary but not sufficient. #advancedpackaging

[Chris Mitchell @CMitchell_IPC]

Congrats to Meredith LaBeau of @CalElectronics and Carol Handwerker of Purdue University for their selection to the @CommerceGov's new Industry Advisory Committee to inform USG decision-making on the #CHIPSAct implementation & #semiconductor R&D.

A good article on the defense industry's efforts to get creative as chip shortages linger. It also references the letter that @IPCassociation, PCBAA and USPAE sent to President Biden urging issuance of Presidential Direction on PCBs and IC substrates.

Hot topics on @IPCassociation's North American Electronics Executive Forum: #CHIPSAct implementation, Presidential Directive on PCBs/IC Substrates, Solder Performance Project, and EU regulation on forced labor. Interested in learning more about the conversation, reach out to me.

A PD is working its way thru the DoD & interagency review processes; we're hopeful it will be issued before year's end. The PD comes on the heels of the @CommerceGov ICT supply chain report that IDed the EMS and PCB industries as critical and in need of greater federal support.

[Chris Mitchell @CMitchell_IPC]

Yesterday, @IPCassociation joined with @PCBA_America & USPAE to urge @POTUS to issue a Presidential Directive (PD) on printed circuit boards and IC substrates. A link to the letter here:

[Chris Mitchell @CMitchell_IPC]

@IPCassociation @PCBA_America @POTUS The PD would help marshal #Defense Production Act funding to support the growth of a secure, resilient, and innovative U.S. supply chain for #PCBs and IC substrates.

[Chris Mitchell @CMitchell_IPC]

Thanks to @EvaMaydell for participating in @IPCassociation's European Executive Forum today. She is a leading voice in the #EuropeanParliment on the #ChipsAct, helping to underscore the importance of bolstering packaging and the larger ecosystem.

[Chris Mitchell @CMitchell_IPC]

Interesting piece by @IPCassociation's Suhani Chitalia on how leading electronics manufacturers are tracking environmental & social risks. This kind of analysis is helping to validate and inform IPC's deepening work with the industry on #sustainability. https://t.co/K7Cqbh2Mcw

@CommerceGov has launched https://t.co/iibsgZctkL as an "essential channel" to keep stakeholders updated on implementation of Chips & Science Act. Updates will include info on CHIPS funding opportunities, requirements & timelines. Sign up for their mailing list. @SecRaimondo

[Chris Mitchell @CMitchell_IPC]

@izzymsanta @Qualcomm Congratulations!

[Chris Mitchell @CMitchell_IPC]

#CHIPSAndScienceAct paves way for greater investments in U.S. semiconductor advanced packaging ecosystem. Read more about the bill @POTUS signs today.

@IPCassociation thanks @RepTrey for his vote on the CHIPS+ bill and for his work in Congress to support a more secure, resilient and innovate electronics manufacturing ecosystem in the Unites States.

[Chris Mitchell @CMitchell_IPC]

@IPCassociation @RepBalderson @RepMikeCarey @RepSteveChabot @RepBobGibbs @RepAGonzalez @RepBillJohnson @RepDaveJoyce @RepMikeTurner 8 of Ohio's 12 Republicans voted for the bill including @RepBillJohnson who IPC recognized in 2016 with our government impact award.

[Chris Mitchell @CMitchell_IPC]

@IPCassociation thanks OH Republicans @RepBalderson @RepMikeCarey @RepSteveChabot, @RepBobGibbs @RepAGonzalez, @RepBillJohnson, @RepDaveJoyce, @RepMikeTurner for their yes vote on the CHIPS bill which will keep America at the forefront of tech innovation & manufacturing.

[Chris Mitchell @CMitchell_IPC]

@IPCassociation commends bipartisan House passage of the CHIPS+ bill today. Enactment ensures future US leadership in semiconductor innovation & is a significant 1st step in rebuilding US electronics manufacturing ecosystem. #CHIPSAct

@POTUS lauds @intel investments in Ohio fabs and presses Congress to act on bill to fund US chip manufacturing.
@IPCassociation urges passage of chips funding as critical first step in restoring U.S leadership in #electronics #manufacturing.
