IEEE-USA IWRC is bringing the CHIPS Act to Alabama!
From 3-4 December, the IEEE-USA Innovation, Workforce, and Research Conference (IWRC) will bring together stakeholders from industry, government, and academia in Huntsville, Alabama, to meet, learn, talk, and discuss the CHIPS Act and other government programs that promote innovation and small business in the southeast. The event includes an evening reception on Tuesday, 3 December, and a full day workshop on Wednesday, 4 December.
Through the CHIPS Act, Congress has allocated $56 Billion for chip manufacturing in the United States with a mandate that the government funding should be allocated throughout the United States.
