Silverado Speaks on Panel at the ABA Standing Committee on Law and National Security

Strengthening U.S. leadership in semiconductors requires more than protecting critical technologies. It requires strategic policymaking that advances U.S. national and economic security.

At the ABA Standing Committee on Law and National Security’s 36th Annual Review, Silverado Policy Accelerator’s CEO Sarah Stewart joined Matt Krupnik, Chris McGuire and moderator Sunita Patel to explore a central challenge: how can the U.S. advance its national security and economic goals while preserving the innovation, competitiveness, and global partnerships that make its technology sectors strong?

Semiconductors sit at the intersection of U.S. economic competitiveness and national security, with innovation and production shaped by a deeply interconnected global ecosystem.

The discussion underscored a critical point: the path forward requires more than individual policy interventions. It demands a coordinated approach to trade, investment, and export controls—and sustained dialogue between policymakers and industry.

Thank you to fellow panelists for a thoughtful discussion and helping shape the conversation.
