Emerging Industry Infrastructure Fund Round 1
In December 2020, the Office of the NSW Chief Scientist & Engineer published the Australian Semiconductor Sector Study. The study examined Australia’s semiconductor sector’s capabilities, needs and opportunities, and was based on over 100 one-on-one and group interviews with sector leaders. The primary objective of the study was to determine if, where and how NSW and Australia could increase participation in the global semiconductor value chain.
A primary recommendation of the Australian Semiconductor Sector Study was that a Semiconductor Sector Service Bureau (S3B) be established. S3B will enhance the capability, workforce, market connectedness and competitiveness of NSW and Australia’s semiconductor sector, as well as addressing market frictions and failures that curtail NSW and Australia’s ability to participate in global semiconductor markets.
S3B is primarily funded by the NSW Government through the Emerging Industry Infrastructure Fund (EIIF).
