What is the International Technology Security and Innovation (ITSI) Program ?

In collaboration with the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Economic and Business (EB) Affairs, Arizona State University (ASU) is implementing a program to help diversify the global semiconductor supply chain. This initiative is supported by the International Technology Security and Innovation (ITSI) Fund, established under the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. 

The program’s central mission is to enhance workforce capabilities within semiconductor chip ATP operations across key partner countries. By prioritizing workforce development, this initiative aims to create a sustainable pipeline of skilled professionals essential for the industry’s growth and resilience. Additionally, the program aims to provide strategic support for policy enhancements to facilitate this workforce evolution.

Expected Results

The core focus of this program is to equip and expand the semiconductor workforce while concurrently addressing policy and regulatory considerations. The program’s objectives are to engage partner governments, industry, academia, and key stakeholders to:
