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 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.
