The chips and science act
The world runs on semiconductors and Texas is going to keep it that way.
When Congress passed the CHIPS and Science Act, the Texas A&M System led proposals to leverage Texas’ strengths to advance R&D and manufacturing. The Board of Regents approved the establishment of the Texas A&M Semiconductor Institute in May 2023, to coordinate responses to state and Federal CHIPS initiatives.
TSI is paving the way for a brighter tomorrow.
The Lone Star state will shine as a beacon of progress and prosperity in the semiconductor world. Join us on this journey towards excellence, security, and a future where Texas leads the way in semiconductor manufacturing and workforce training.
