Southwest Advanced Prototyping Hub - Microelectronics at ASU Southwest Advanced Prototyping (SWAP) Hub A Microelectronics Commons regional innovation hub Join us for the SWAP Hub Annual Meeting & Advanced Packaging Workshop Oct. 26–28, 2026 | Tempe, Arizona Early registration ends Sept. 15 .
Register today and explore sponsorship opportunities to showcase your organization at this year’s event. Driving innovation in microelectronics for national defense Led by Arizona State University, the SWAP Hub brings together over 200 top semiconductor manufacturers, defense firms, national laboratories, leading academic institutions, startup companies and numerous other organizations.
Hub members leverage advanced packaging, test, characterization, and fabrication capabilities at ASU’s MacroTechnology Works , Sandia National Laboratories and other cores to deliver Department of War needs. Together, we are accelerating innovation into the hands of warfighters. As a SWAP Hub member, you gain access to world-class facilities, state-of-the-art equipment, and support from experts at ASU and across the hub’s network.
You will also have access to calls for proposals on Department of War-funded projects and unique opportunities for collaboration. ASU — a leader in microelectronics R&D ASU has received multiple large CHIPS and Science Act investments and is home to the only advanced fan-out wafer-level packaging center in North America.
The SWAP Hub partners with the National Security Technology Accelerator (NSTXL) to deliver warfighter technology by serving as a one-stop shop to match federal requirements with innovative private-sector solutions. We offer a unique and simplified approach to rapidly develop prototypes that address a range of operational and installation needs, from individual warfighter technology to large-scale installation projects.
Microelectronics Commons and SWAP Hub shaping the future of U.S. microelectronics The Microelectronics Commons and ASU-led SWAP Hub connect industry, academia and government to speed “lab-to-fab” innovation, strengthen domestic manufacturing and develop the workforce in areas like AI-enabled sensing and advanced packaging.
Visit the Microelectronics Commons Accelerating R&D and commercialization Strengthening domestic supply chains Developing the microelectronics workforce Advancing American semiconductor capacity The SWAP Hub is one of eight regional innovation hubs established under the DoW’s Microelectronics Commons, a national strategic initiative to accelerate the development and production of microelectronics technologies that are critical to U.S. security and defense.
Funded with DoW investment, the SWAP Hub is one of the first awards under the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, which aims to revitalize American semiconductor manufacturing capacity and competitiveness. How does the SWAP Hub work? The SWAP Hub’s regional and national partners work together to accelerate the lab-to-fab transition between research, development and production.
ASU coordinates hub activities and develops the human, physical and digital capabilities of its partners to maximize value to the DoW and advance national security priorities around microelectronics.

The memorandum of agreement was signed August 4 and 5, disclosed by House appropriators on September 3, and runs through 2036. It names no dollar figure. Here is what is actually established, what is still speculation, and what researchers holding or planning NIAID biodefense awards should do before September 30.

Round one closed July 8. The arithmetic across both windows accounts for nearly the entire FY26 appropriation — which tells you what kind of second chance this is.
Read articleIn January 2026, DOE Policy Flash PF-2026-30 wiped out every 15% and 10% indirect cost cap the administration had imposed in 2025 — because H.R. 6938 ordered it to. The same law froze indirect policy at NSF, Commerce and NASA. But OMB's sweeping new grants rule quietly reopens the fight through the back door. Here is what changed, what money recipients can claw back, and how to protect your indirect recovery going forward.
