In-person attendance for this event is by invitation only. You may register to attend remotely, as the conference will be available to stream from this webpage.

This conference hosted by CSIS Renewing American Innovation brings together the leading cooperative semiconductor research organizations from around the world to identify tangible areas for collaboration as well as proven models for incentivizing cooperative research and financing novel technologies.

With the CHIPS and Science Act just over two years old and other major semiconductor initiatives underway around the world, there remains a shared imperative to cooperate and align programs among like-minded allies confronting a shared strategic and commercial challenge to develop more secure and resilient research and production value chains. 

Cooperative research institutes are well suited to facilitate concrete, mutually advantageous cooperation in close consultation with industry and leading universities.  Indeed, the foundations for productive collaboration already exist in the form of the multiple ongoing international partnerships that have grown organically among industry, universities, and research organizations around the world.

This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
