How the US Won Back Chip Manufacturing

We’re here for a CHIPS Act megapod, in person with Mike Schmidt and Todd Fisher, the director and founding CIO of the CHIPS Program Office, respectively.

We discuss…

• The mechanisms behind the success of the CHIPS Act,

• What CHIPS can teach us about other industrial policy challenges, like APIs and rare earths,

• What it takes to build a successful industrial policy implementation team,

• How the fear of “another Solyndra” is holding back US industrial policy,

• Chris Miller’s recent interest in revitalizing America’s chemical industry.

This post is a collaboration with the Factory Settings Substack: https://www.factorysettings.org/. Subscribe for more insights from former CHIPS Program Office leaders!
