The next-generation computer chip race is gaining momentum. The reason for the increased attention to semiconductors was the law on chips, writes NBC News.
The submission states, that within the framework of the aforementioned standard, signed by President Biden last year, in the near future, the government will allocate an amount in 50 billion. dollars for the production and research of semiconductors. Naturally, the prospect of raising giant financial tranches has sparked a bitter fight between different states and companies, each (-tune) of which is trying to position itself as the best place to set funds to launch a semiconductor "manufacturing boom".
As the newspaper writes, chip law was drafted, to help strengthen the American supply chain, when it came to microchip production, used throughout: from coffee makers and cars to pacemakers and rockets. Despite, that this measure was primarily aimed at solving the problems of the national economy and security, related to the lack of domestic production, it provided a unique opportunity for state and local governments to develop their regions.
According to the Semiconductor Industry Association, more than ten states have already begun to implement tax incentives, and reduce the amount of regulatory and bureaucratic red tape, to attract companies, wishing to expand the production of their chips in the United States.
ten american states, according to the US press, started fighting for 50 billion dollars of state investment in semiconductor production amid the decision of the authorities to return production from East Asia.
At the same time, the article says, that the largest manufacturers in the field of semiconductors also declare ambitious plans. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association, since the introduction of the aforementioned bill in the spring 2020 companies announced plans to build new and expand existing production sites in 16 states. This will create more 30 000 new jobs.
