🎙️Thank you 3D InCites for inviting Shari Liss and Michelle Williams to discuss the NNME! This work is bigger than any one organization, and we’re grateful for partners helping us elevate the national conversation around semiconductor talent and training! The NNME Regional Node RFP is open, and we can’t wait to see proposals from regions ready to lead and shape the future of America’s semiconductor workforce. Learn more at NNME.org.
Recorded live from SEMICON West 2025 in Phoenix, Françoise von Trapp talks with Shari Liss and Michelle Williams of the SEMI Foundation about the newly launched National Network for Microelectronics Education (NNME)--a CHIPS Act-funded initiative connecting educators, employers, and partners to strengthen the semiconductor talent pipeline. She also chats with Saifi Usmani and Peilun Sun from SEMI Americas about whether the chip industry can cut emissions while meeting AI demand. SCC’s roadmap, the Energy Collaborative, and a plan to bridge a 20-year net zero gap is also covered.
