Ansys Government Initiatives has been awarded a contract to supply digital engineering solutions to the Microelectronics Commons, an initiative funded by the CHIPS Act aimed at advancing national security. This effort will be executed by The Midwest Microelectronics Consortium (MMEC) in coordination with government and industry partners. The Commons network will gain access to nearly 90% of the Ansys simulation suite, including industry-leading semiconductor, electronics, and photonics products.

The Commons, supported by the Department of Defense, leads a national effort to lower barriers to manufacturing facilities for researchers and innovators. Ansys will join academic institutions, government organizations, and public and private companies to reinvigorate the domestic microelectronics supply chain. By providing critical technology and expertise, Ansys will help researchers design chips that are predictively accurate, secure, and reliable.

To further elevate the domestic microelectronics landscape and bolster the widespread adoption of simulation, Ansys will provide the Ansys Learning Hub to participating technology hubs and their members. This talent development is instrumental in educating the next generation of the semiconductor workforce in critical areas such as 5G/6G, AI, EM spectrum dominance, and quantum technology, supporting the vitality and preservation of U.S. intellectual property and national security.
