Semiconductors are the brains of modern life, powering everything from our smartphones and cars to the most advanced AI data centers and military hardware. For decades, America, the inventor of the microchip, watched its manufacturing dominance fade, leading to a critical dependency on complex supply chains rooted in East Asia. This created a profound economic and national security vulnerability, brought into sharp focus by geopolitical tensions surrounding Taiwan, the world's leading producer of advanced chips.
The New Global Arms Race is Fought with Silicon
In response, the United States has launched its most significant industrial policy in generations: the CHIPS and Science Act. This is America's high-stakes bid to reclaim its leadership and build a resilient, domestic semiconductor ecosystem. Our interactive information portal breaks down this monumental effort into 18 digestible slides. Explore the key players, the groundbreaking technology, the geopolitical flashpoints, and the strategic vision behind America's dream to become a semiconductor superpower once again.
