Hello, and welcome back to Market Moves Supply Chain!

What is the latest in the supply chain space? In the U.S., investments are being made across the board, particularly at the local levels, into infrastructure, software and anti-counterfeiting technologies, and advanced technologies—especially artificial intelligence—in order to bolster and strengthen operations.

However, the U.S. also faces supply chain challenges and uncertainties. U.S. semiconductor manufacturing is limited by existing infrastructure—in particular, by the electrical grid. If it is to grow, how will the grid grow with it to support the significant demand increases? Compounding this growth dilemma, the CHIPS Act was announced with fanfare; now, those the Act was to support are wrapped in red tape. And how will the push toward zero emission vehicles impact the supply chain as the transportation sector faces looming regulatory change?
