Report on Semiconductor Sector Services in Australia

The U.S. Embassy Canberra requires a contractor to examine the impact of a Taiwan Strait crisis on Australia's semiconductor access and recommend steps to improve supply chain resilience. The project will use tabletop exercises, comparative analysis, and industry consultations to build a comprehensive picture of Australia's exposure to semiconductor supply chain risks. The contractor will deliver a final report, provide an in-person briefing to U.S. Mission officials, and design and execute a strategic communications campaign. Some key points to consider: • The project will assess the downstream effect of a Taiwan Strait crisis on Australia's defense and national security. • The contractor will recommend practical steps to improve supply chain resilience, including options for expanding domestic capacity and strengthening collective resilience with likeminded partners. • The project will involve consultations with industry experts and national security officials. • The contractor will provide a final report and an in-person briefing to U.S. Mission officials. • The contractor will design and execute a strategic communications campaign to disseminate the report's findings.
