Regional Innovation and Technology Hubs (Tech Hubs) are instrumental in catalyzing investment in critical technologies for economic growth, national security, and job creation. The Tech Hubs program, authorized by the CHIPS and Science Act in August 2022, is a vital component of the U.S. agenda to bolster the economy from the middle out and bottom up.
These hubs are dedicated to advancing innovative industries nationwide, focusing on key sectors such as semiconductors, clean energy, critical minerals, biotechnology, precision medicine, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing. By uniting private industry, local and state governments, higher education institutions, labor unions, Tribal communities, and nonprofit organizations, Tech Hubs aim to foster innovation, enhance supply chain resilience, and drive job growth.
