WINNING THE CHIP RACE
American Semiconductor Innovation and Competitiveness under the Trump Administration & the 119th Congress
Download the Report
SIA Policy Recommendations
“Winning the Chip Race” sets forth the U.S. semiconductor industry’s policy priorities for collaboration with the Trump Administration and the 119th Congress. Policymakers should advance U.S. semiconductor leadership through coordinated, complementary efforts to promote industry innovation and competitiveness while also protecting economic and national security.
Key policy priorities include:
Semiconductor Manufacturing Incentives and R&D Investments
: Advancing incentives for U.S. chipmaking and investments in American innovation.
Tax
: Ensuring the U.S. remains a competitive tax destination to invest in semiconductor research, design, and manufacturing.
Research
:
Supporting existing R&D initiatives and growing federal investment in semiconductor research and basic research across the physical sciences to enable U.S. technology leadership and win technologies of the future.
Workforce and Immigration
: Growing the talent pipeline by developing, attracting, and retaining a high-skilled workforce.
Economic Security – Trade & Supply Chain Resilience:
Restoring U.S. trade leadership, building strong and complementary global chip supply chains, and facilitating access to new and growing markets.
National Security – Export Controls & Technology Restrictions
: Ensuring policies are carefully calibrated and targeted, effective, and do not undermine the interests they are designed to protect.
China
: Out-competing, out-innovating, and out-flanking to win the future for U.S. semiconductors.
Environmental & Energy Regulation
: Streamlining regulatory and permitting requirements to promote innovation and industry growth, protecting workers and the environment, and supporting American energy strength domestically and around the world.
SIA stands ready to work with policymakers to adopt a robust policy agenda to advance U.S. semiconductor leadership.
