SEMI Sustainability, in collaboration with STX Group, hosted a webinar on Internal Carbon Pricing (ICP) for the semiconductor value chain. The session was anchored in a new industry report developed with input from members of SEMI’s Carbon Pricing Workgroup and will feature speakers from ASML, Delta Electronics, and Lam Research. The webinar highlighted the 5 key steps in creating and implementing your own ICP plan, and understand the process, its benefits and the opportunities offered.
The presentations explored key insights from the report alongside SEMI member perspectives, with speakers sharing practical examples and lessons learned—from early exploration to applied approaches—across the semiconductor value chain.

U.S. National Strategic Plan for Advanced Manufacturing: Virtual Town Hall for Semiconductor Manufacturing Inputs
Join us for a town hall event designed for semiconductor experts to help shape the future of federal research and development in advanced manufacturing. Participants will share insights to help define the priorities for the 2026–2030 National Strategic Plan for Advanced Manufacturing, which guides Federal efforts to enhance the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing.
The plan is revised every four years to provide new federal priorities in advanced manufacturing research and development, aiming to create jobs, boost economic growth across various sectors, and strengthen national security. This town hall session augments an online Request for Information (RFI), enabling participants to share their views and catalyze deeper input into priority areas.
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has posted the complete set of questions in the Federal RegisterHERE.
The National Science and Technology Council’s Subcommittee on Advanced Manufacturing will manage the RFI process, and the NIST Office of Advanced Manufacturing will collect and analyze the information.

The semiconductor industry stands at a generational inflection point with national economic and security priorities converging to define the role of semiconductors for the future. Engaging with lawmakers and policymakers in Washington, DC on trade policy, tariffs, and export controls is of critical importance for the semiconductor and microelectronics industry. If companies do not engage, policy decisions move forward without industry input, which can create missed opportunities and unnecessary risk.
Join us for this expert panel to hear practical guidance and learn how you can ensure your voice is heard by key decision makers.
