Following the weekend's IPEF Supply Chain Agreement announcement, we published a new report focused on #semiconductors and supply chain resiliency. We identify IPEF as the best vehicle for enacting the friendshoring agenda and provide 8 recommendations.

1⃣ Establish trusted trading partner standards for future cooperation.
IPEF’s diverse membership makes it challenging to develop trusted partner models for chips cooperation, but laying the foundation for greater export control coordination is a key step.

2⃣ Accept that trusted partnership relationships are *reciprocal.*
Developing secure, resilient supply chains in the semiconductor sector is not simply a matter of reshoring. Partnerships rely on all the parties to support and reinforce mutually agreed-upon outcomes.

Silicon Valley UK?
The UK Chancellor has declared that he wants the UK to become the next Silicon Valley.
Hermann Hauser, when asked on @BBCNewsnight about the chances of this happening, replied “zero”.

Semiconductor sovereignty will be achieved by China, US and EU. China has the money and talent so it is only a matter of time.
Whereas Britain “is a minnow and will always be a minnow”. BREXIT was the greatest loss of sovereignty since 1066.

This spiral of digitalisation leading to electrification is one of the primary reasons why we are electrifying our energy systems. I can do without coal but I cannot do anything in this modern #digital world without electricity.

US took some of its toughest ever actions against China's tech sector with latest curb on chip exports, which could ultimately hobble China's semiconductor industry. But it's not just the rules themselves but the nature of the chip supply chain that make it possible 1/14 🧵
The second and third point are key. The second point is about how the rules could affect businesses that aren't even American-owned. And the third is about cutting key advanced chipmaking machines off from #China 2/14
There is precedent. The U.S. used the so-called foreign direct product rule before on the poster child of the Trump-era U.S.-China tech tensions — Huawei. #Huawei was cut off from the most advanced chips that TSMC was manufacturing and that were designed for its smartphones 3/14

The chief technology officer of ASML said high-NA may be the end of the line for lithography.

ASML is researching the successor to high-NA, called hyper-NA. But the cost of hyper-NA may be too high.
“If the cost of hyper-NA grows as fast as we’ve seen in high-NA, it will pretty much be economically unfeasible,” Van den Brink said.
