Aeluma Joins NSTC to Help Power the Future of American Semiconductors
Key Goal of NSTC is to Secure U.S. Leadership in Global Semiconductor Industry
Aeluma is now part of the National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC), a national initiative advancing U.S. semiconductor innovation. This initiative was formed under the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act to drive innovation, research, and workforce development across the semiconductor industry.
As a newly inducted NSTC member, Aeluma joins a prestigious roster of more than 130 organizations, including semiconductor companies, academic institutions, and government partners, committed to advancing U.S. leadership in semiconductor technology and manufacturing.
A Platform for Innovation and Impact
Operated by Natcast, a purpose-built nonprofit designated by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the NSTC serves as a central hub for semiconductor R&D in the United States. This public-private consortium was established to overcome some of the industry’s most pressing challenges—from ensuring supply chain resilience to closing the skills gap in advanced manufacturing. For Aeluma, membership in the NSTC means more than access and exposure—we are here to collaborate, contribute, and innovate alongside peers who share a vision for strengthening America’s position as a global technology leader.
Why This Matters Now
Semiconductors are the foundation of the modern digital economy. From quantum computing and artificial intelligence to autonomous vehicles and 5G communications, innovation begins at the chip level. As geopolitical pressures, supply constraints, and technological complexity grow, the need for collaborative platforms like the NSTC has never been greater.
Aeluma’s core technologies, designed for next generation sensing and communications for mobile, automotive, AI, defense & aerospace, communication, and quantum computing, align directly with NSTC’s mission to drive disruptive innovation. As we continue to develop our unique semiconductor solutions, NSTC membership enables us to integrate into a larger ecosystem that values speed, cooperation, and breakthrough thinking.
A Commitment to Shared Progress
This is a once-in-a-generation moment for the U.S. semiconductor industry. We’re honored to be part of it. By working with other NSTC members, we aim to contribute not only our technology and talent, but our perspective on how startups and scale-ups can play a pivotal role in shaping the future of chips. We believe innovation thrives at the intersection of public vision and private execution. With the NSTC, that intersection just got a lot stronger.
Welcome to the Future of Chips
Aeluma has already engaged with fellow NSTC members, policymakers, and researchers as we push the boundaries of what’s possible in semiconductor design and manufacturing. Together, we can transform today’s challenges into tomorrow’s competitive advantages.
