Steven Duvall, FLEET Advisory Committee member
Australia has not joined the growing number of countries around the world that are investing heavily to develop their domestic semiconductor manufacturing industries.
In this talk, we present the case for why Australia should invest in growing its domestic semiconductor industry and, in particular, in fostering the establishment of domestic semiconductor manufacturing capabilities. Among other factors, we will consider how domestic semiconductor manufacturing would facilitate the commercialisation of technologies developed at Australian research institutes, such as FLEET.
