"Speed to Capability": Accelerating Microelectronics Innovation
Abstract: The Midwest Microelectronics Consortium (MMEC) member ecosystem, with regional execution and national reach, is positioned and ready to deliver on the promise of accelerating the domestic Lab to Fab to Mission-and-Market pipeline. Through a deliberate “No-excuse” approach to technology transition, the Midwest Commons ecosystem is being built to deliver sustainable, lasting, and asymmetric microelectronics innovation for the Warfighter and Nation.
