The purpose of the Securing Semiconductor Supply Chains Act of 2025 is to enhance the United States' capacity for semiconductor manufacturing by increasing foreign direct investment. This is particularly important due to the critical role semiconductors play in the economy and national security, especially highlighted by recent shortages caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and other supply chain issues. Key provisions of the Act require the SelectUSA program, which is part of the Department of Commerce, to work closely with state-level economic development organizations.
