Abstract
NSTC updates as of March 7, 2025. The year 2024 was an inflection point for U.S. semiconductor R&D and innovation. From the signing of the National Semiconductor Technology Center1 (NSTC) consortium agreement in February to the establishment of foundational semiconductor research programs, national workforce development initiatives, and the announcement of state-of-the-art research facilities throughout the year, 2024 laid the groundwork for long-term success for U.S.-led semiconductor innovation. These milestones represent the beginning of a critical, sustained, and collaborative effort to drive technological advancement, build economic resilience, and strengthen national security in the United States.
