With passage of the Chips and Science Act and the budget reconciliation bill, the U.S. will be spending hundreds of billions of dollars in the years to come to encourage investment in chip manufacturing and environmental technologies. The bills also provide billions more to fund scientific research and development, and to spur the innovation and development of other U.S. technologies.
Panelists will discuss what this new spending means for the U.S. jobs, exports and international trade policy, and how these bills position the U.S. relative to China and in relation to its allies and partners.
