CHIPS for America has made available a teaming partner list that will enable entities to share information, foster collaboration, and advance shared goals. This list allows entities to share their contact information and capabilities so that potential applicants can reach out and consider utilizing their expertise to advance the CHIPS Act’s objectives.

This list includes businesses that may not qualify as covered entities under the CHIPS funding opportunities, as well as organizations that provide support services relevant to the execution of the CHIPS incentives program. These entities can include educational and workforce training providers; childcare providers; organizations that engage or support minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses; community-based organizations; labor unions; and others. This list does not directly connect entities to potential applicants but enables external entities to explore potential strategic partnerships.

The CHIPS Program Office is not endorsing, sponsoring, or otherwise evaluating the qualifications of the entities and organizations that have self-identified for placement on the list. Entities seeking to utilize the list are advised to conduct their own due diligence of any entity they contact.

Trans-Atlantic data flows underpin more than $1 trillion in cross-border trade and investment per year and create greater economic opportunities for companies and citizens on both sides of the Atlantic. Now that the EU has adopted its adequacy decision for the Data Privacy Framework (DPF), personal data can be transferred from EU countries and from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway to U.S. organizations participating in the EU-U.S. DPF consistent with EU law.

Bidenomics has created 209,000 jobs last month, totaling 13.2 million jobs since President Biden took office. The economy has recovered all pandemic-related job losses and added nearly 4 million more. Unemployment remains under 4% for 17 consecutive months, the longest stretch in over 50 years.

Manufacturing, construction, and research & development have seen over 1.5 million job creations. Labor force participation is at its highest in over 20 years, with record-breaking participation from working-aged women. This approach prioritizes growing the economy from the middle out and bottom up, resulting in the strongest pandemic recovery, low inflation, rising wages, and decreased annual inflation.

Bidenomics continues to prioritize lowering costs and supporting small businesses through promoting competition. Recognizing that capitalism thrives on fair competition, the administration has taken significant steps to address the impact of monopolies and excessive pricing. Over the past two years, the Biden Administration has made remarkable progress by collaborating with bipartisan State Attorneys General, the Department of Agriculture (USDA), and industry leaders to tackle price-gouging and anticompetitive practices in food and agricultural markets.
