Semiconductor strategy and advisory

Senior advisory where technology, policy and investment meet. We help semiconductor companies, investors and government leaders make decisions on manufacturing and R&D investments, market entry, competitive positioning and supply chain resilience across AI, quantum computing, defense, automotive and other critical markets.

Clients can draw on a network across industry, academia and government agencies built over decades, including first-hand experience inside the CHIPS Program at the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Ecosystem collaboration

Strategic goals are rarely reached alone. We identify where your objectives overlap with industry partners, government priorities, national laboratories and universities, then help structure the partnerships that turn that overlap into lasting competitive value.

That includes joint R&D programs, technology licensing and transfer, workforce and talent pipelines, and consortia that bring the right stakeholders to the table early.

Government policy and funding alignment

Decades of combined industry and government experience inform practical guidance on aligning your technology, funding and regulatory strategy with U.S. industrial policy, from CHIPS incentives and tax credits to economic and national security priorities.

SemiAdvisors and its network know the contracting vehicles and shifting procurement trends across the Departments of Commerce, War (Defense) and Energy, and help clients position proposals, partnerships and programs to compete effectively for federal funding.
