Semiconductors serve as the foundation for nearly all industries, acting as a central pillar of the global economy. The current reliance on a limited number of suppliers and production centers located in geopolitically sensitive regions has introduced significant risk to North America's endeavors in energy transition, digitalization, and technological innovation. The discussion titled "Chip Thrills: The Role of North America in Semiconductor Rivalries," featuring Chris Miller, Author of "Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology" and recipient of The Financial Times Business Book of the Year award, will focus on the pivotal role that chips play in shaping both the present and the future of the North American region. The conversation will delve into the implications of bringing semiconductor production closer to home, bolstering North America's resilience and reducing dependence on foreign influences, particularly in an increasingly intricate and uncertain global landscape.
