Overview
Program Overview
Funded by the CHIPS and Science
Act, the Microelectronics Commons
program is a network of regional
technology Hubs acting on a shared
mission: to expand the nation’s global
leadership
in
microelectronics.
Since its award in 2023, Commons
has garnered national support
and recognition, beginning with
the official announcement of the
Commons Hub awards at the
Pentagon by the Honorable Kathleen
Hicks, former Deputy Secretary of
Defense. Since then, Commons
has expanded its impact, tripling
its membership in the first year and
developing new partnerships with
academia, local governments, and
more.
The Commons program comprises
eight regional Hubs, each of which
is focused on multiple technology
areas and supported by their own
network of commercial innovators.
