Undersecretary Jose Fernandez on Securing Critical Supply Chains in the 21st Century
Recorded live at SEMICON West 2024, SEMI’s flagship tradeshow where the global semiconductor industry gathers to discuss important matters and showcase new products and technology.
This episode features Françoise von Trapp’s conversation with Jose Fernandez, Under Secretary of Economic Growth, Energy, and The Environment for the Department of State, to talk about securing critical supply chains for the 21st century.
Fernandez discussed the importance of addressing geopolitical issues and ensuring supply chain resilience, particularly in the aftermath of the pandemic. He highlighted the importance of establishing global semiconductor supply chains that meet clean energy goals to galvanize a clean energy future. He also emphasized the need to prioritize security over efficiency and highlighted the issue of semiconductors seeping into Russia despite sanctions.
You’ll also learn:
- How the U.S. Department of State International Technology Security and Innovation Fund (ITSI) supports workforce development and is helping to secure critical minerals.
- About the impact of sanctions on Russia's semiconductor industry, and how companies are working together to improve due diligence and prevent the flow of semiconductors into Russia
A global association, SEMI represents the entire electronics manufacturing and design supply chain.
