Writ large, the Biden Administration Investing in America initiative is the most dramatic effort to restructure the American industrial base in decades, if not generations.
The combination of the green energy provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act, semiconductor promotion in the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, will together invest more than $2 trillion of federal funds into American manufacturing, infrastructure (including broadband) and advanced energy.
On Tuesday, June 27, 2023, Broadband Breakfast is pleased to present the Made in America Summit in Washington. The summit’s five sessions will explore the intersection of these vital big-picture topics:
- Building Better Broadband throughout the United States
- (R)e-building Energy Infrastructure
- Semiconductor Manufacturing and U.S.-Chinese Tech Race
- Challenges to Reorienting America’s Supply Chain
- Making Cleaner Energy and Enhancing Green Industry
