Silicon Valley Leadership Group Joins with Other California Business Associations to Call Upon Biden Administration to Accelerate Implementation of CHIPS Act Incentive Program

Silicon Valley Leadership Group

Leading a coalition of California business associations, the Silicon Valley Leadership Group (SVLG) today urged the Biden Administration and Congress to accelerate implementation of the multibillion dollar CHIPS Act incentive program, which is critical to sustaining and strengthening the state’s thriving innovation economy. According to the White House, America had more than 30 percent of global chip production over 30 years ago, while today, America produces barely 10 percent of the world’s chips. The CHIPS Act seeks to change this by investing $280 billion over the next ten years to revitalize U.S. competitiveness, innovation, and national security. Over the next five years, the Department of Commerce will oversee $50 billion in investments including $11 billion for advanced semiconductor R&D and $39 billion to speed up domestic chip production. Additionally, the Act creates a private sector investment tax credit for semiconductor manufacturing of approximately $24 billion. “The CHIPS Act promises to bolster Silicon Valley competitiveness by supercharging critical innovation infrastructure,” said Silicon Valley Leadership Group CEO Ahmad Thomas. “Our member companies stand ready to quickly leverage the federal government’s multi-billion dollar investment to help strengthen U.S. technology, ensure our global competitiveness, and fortify our supply chain resilience.” In a package of letters to U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo and members of the California delegation, the coalition emphasized that: “The [CHIPS and Science] Act presents a unique moment to seize upon California’s innovation and manufacturing advantages that will help strengthen the national economy and reinforce our critical supply chain of needed semiconductor chips and components. We respectfully request that the Department of Commerce move expeditiously to implement the Act’s incentive program, and we are happy to serve as an industry resource as the Act is implemented." In addition to the SVLG, the letters were signed by the Bay Area Council, Chamber San Mateo County, Fremont Chamber of Commerce, Los Angeles County Business Federation, San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, San Mateo County Economic Development Association, Sunnyvale Chamber of Commerce, and Valley Industry & Commerce Association. American businesses rely on semiconductors as essential components in electronic products like desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Advancing the nation's military capabilities also requires semiconductors for cutting-edge technologies. Expanding domestic manufacturing of semiconductors will bolster national security, supply chain resilience, and strengthen the national economy. California’s Innovation Economy, made up of diverse actors including technology companies, premier research entities, and comprehensive supply chain leaders, is well-positioned to leverage the Act’s incentives and act as a force multiplier for federal investment to strengthen national manufacturing, R&D, and semiconductor workforce training. President Biden released an implementation strategy for the $50 billion under the CHIPS for America program, which is available here. A summary of the legislation is available here. About the Silicon Valley Leadership Group: The Leadership Group is a business organization of hundreds of Silicon Valley’s most dynamic companies working to shape the innovation economy of California and the nation. Founded by David Packard of Hewlett-Packard, for over 40 years the SVLG has worked to address issues that affect the region’s economic health and quality of life. Today the SVLG Is focused on economic competitiveness with a special focus on diversity & inclusion, climate change and infrastructure. SVLG members collectively provide nearly one of every three private sector jobs in Silicon Valley and contribute more than $3 trillion to the worldwide economy. For more information, visit svlg.org.

Why Are Companies Expected To Spend Almost $2 Trillion On Collaborative Robots By 2030? One Company Has An Answer: Teamwork

AvaWatz Inc.

Industries spend billions of dollars each year to ensure worker and customer safety. Yet some of those billions of dollars could be saved by using teams of collaborating robots (cobots) to perform work that endangers human workers. Cobot teams can work in otherwise dangerous operating environments and can perform the tedious tasks necessary to ensure customer safety in commercial spaces, airports, railways and mass transit systems. Consider the task of removing harmful debris from an airport runway. Fragments of metal and other materials can fall onto the runway from airplanes, service vehicles, luggage carts and even small fragments can do catastrophic damage. Keeping runways clear is a life-and-death responsibility, and right now it is all done by human workers who walk or drive along the runway to find and remove debris. This is the kind of tedious and dangerous job that could be done by robots, but no single type of robot is exactly right for the job. Flying drone robots are good at detecting debris, but they cannot pick up the debris and remove it; ground robots can pick it up, but they cannot move as fast or see as far as the drones can. If they combine their strengths, a team of air and ground robots together can perform this task with minimal human involvement. Decision-intelligence tech firm AvaWatz is working to make this idea real. The company builds teams of robots with different skills, like traveling off-road or manipulating a specialized tool – the team can combine those skills and use them all together. AvaWatz wants to use robots to reduce risks for humans who have to perform complex tasks in harsh environments and is pioneering the use of collaborative robots or cobots. Cobot teams can solve hard problems for public and private sector customers, including the military and Homeland Security, flightline operations, search and rescue, emergency response, construction, transportation, agriculture, utilities and infrastructure among others – in fact, it is difficult to name a sector that could not benefit in some way from teams of robot workers. The U.S. Air Force, Army, and the Department of Homeland Security have each recognized the need and are funding AvaWatz R&D to advance and grow the technology. The company is focused on driving risk even lower for humans. Giving back to the community is a high priority for AvaWatz — which is why they donate a portion of their revenue to assist with debris pick-up on coastlines. The Size Of The Opportunity The need for cobots is out there, according to AvaWatz. It is predicted that the market for collaborative robots will grow to $1.99 Trillion by 2030. AvaWatz’s initial targets are smart airports, ground transit assets, and surveillance, but the opportunity is not limited to those areas. Such technology can also address the needs of markets where the risk is not only limited to simple human error but also malicious intent. AvaWatz – which has already performed prototype work with the U.S. Air Force – plans initially to work with regional and private airports in the U.S. in addition to the Air Force as it scales to address larger markets. There is also potential to work in fields such as infrastructure repair, railroad inspection and the protection of endangered wildlife species. AvaWatz is reportedly also working on partnerships with drone and ground robot manufacturers such as Skydio and Boston Dynamics. AvaWatz offers an investment opportunity to meet the growing demand for Collaborative Robots – whose market size is predicted to reach almost $2 trillion by 2030 with a CAGR of 12.3% from 2021-2030. Discover what AvaWatz investment opportunity means for you, by clicking the offer link: https://www.startengine.com/avawatz AvaWatz is a decision-intelligence company charting a new frontier in “Cobots” - collaborative air and ground robots. Leveraging AI and advanced knowledge network technologies, our cooperative robotic services are programmed to carry out tasks too dangerous, difficult, or time-consuming for humans.

Employee Experience Technology Adoption Is Being Driven by Pandemic Recovery and Workforce Instability, According to Dash Research

Dash Network

The massive shifts caused by the Covid-19 pandemic have been deeply felt across all industries and at every department level within business-to-consumer (B2B) and business-to-business (B2B) companies. The effect on the global workforce has been profound, with companies around the world struggling to hire and retain employees. According to a new report from Dash Research, an evolution that many say was already in progress before the pandemic, has accelerated with a balance of power starting to migrate toward employees. Dash Research analysis indicates that these market dynamics are leading companies to invest in a broad range of technologies and solutions to not only decrease day-to-day friction in an employee journey, but also to attempt to meet the expanded desires of a changing population. The line between traditional human resources (HR) technology and employee experience (EX) technologies has blurred over the past few years and has given rise to larger companies that provide human capital management (HCM) or workforce engagement technologies to add modules more focused on engagement, community building, recognition, or performance management. These dynamics have also enabled smaller companies to gain leverage in the market with more specific offerings focused on just one part of the EX ecosystem. Dash Research forecasts that the global market for EX platforms, applications, and services will increase from $5.9 billion in 2021 to more than $14.6 billion in 2026. The market intelligence firm anticipates that EX platforms will represent 53% of total revenue within the forecast period, followed by services (24%) and applications (23%). “Companies are becoming more human-centered,” says senior analyst Sherril Hanson, “and HR departments are shifting focus from operations and productivity toward experience, health, and wellbeing. In many cases, the fundamental relationship between employer and employee has changed.” Hanson adds that the key market drivers spurring the purchase of EX software and services include: The Great Resignation and the need for better retention strategies The employee experience/customer experience link Shifting employee wants and needs Move to hybrid and remote work, leading to increased need for communication and connection Growing need for optimal digital employee experience and great supporting technologies However, she points out that many barriers remain for organizations when attempting to deploy EX solutions, many of which are internal and operational. Dash Research has identified four key challenges that are tempering the growth of EX: Outdated and challenging technology stacks Lack of internal ownership Struggles with analysis and action Inability to build an EX-supportive culture Dash Research’s report, “Employee Experience”, focuses on the software platforms, applications, and services that are offered to help companies achieve excellent EX. These solutions are an important part of providing a positive employee experience. If implemented thoughtfully and with sustained commitment, the solutions can promote deeper employee engagement, less employee churn, in-house automations and efficiencies, and improved customer experience. An Executive Summary of the report is available for free download on the firm’s website. Dash Research, the market intelligence arm of Dash Network, provides in-depth research and insights on the worldwide CX market including a comprehensive assessment of technology solutions, business issues, market drivers, and end-user dynamics across industry sectors. Dash Research’s global market coverage combines qualitative and quantitative research methodologies to provide a complete view of emerging business opportunities surrounding contact center technologies, customer data & analytics, customer data platforms, customer insights & feedback, customer relationship management, personalization & optimization, and employee experience.

5 Best Resume Writing Services: Reviews of the Professional Companies Near You

Resume Builders

Getting started on a job does not come automatically. It begins with an application process for the same role. And a major part of this procedure is submitting a well-written resume. Otherwise called a CV, your resume is one of the essential documents you present in a job search or application for opportunities. As a matter of fact, it is the most important document in the entire procedure. It can make or mar your application process for that fellowship, postgraduate studies, internship, or other work-related bids. Thus, you need your resume to be in top form consistently. But here's the twist, not everyone knows how to write a resume. It is a technical document. Thus, you might find it challenging to write. In fact, if you do, sometimes you have a greater chance of shortchanging yourself. Why? Because it might not pass the ATS. That is the Application Tracking System. And guess what? Most companies now use this tech mechanism to weed through irrelevant and not-well-written resumes submitted through their application portals. Do you want to be a part of these unscreened resumes?

Resume writing is the act of creating your resume. As simple as this sounds, it fully captures the entire process. A resume in itself is a formal document that iterates your qualifications for a specific role you are looking to apply for. It highlights the most relevant information in your career pursuits that positions you as the best candidate for the position you are applying for. It is mainly accompanied by a cover letter expressing your interest in applying for that role. Noteworthy is the fact that most recruiters advocate for resumes to be one-paged or two-paged at most. Writing a resume is a process that requires careful detailing of specifics. This information is tailored particularly to the given role being applied for. Thus, as much as you could have a general resume, it is advisable to have specific resumes for each job application. The writers in these services help you highlight the best possible qualifications, background information, job history, certifications, and other details that make you a perfect fit for the role you are looking to occupy. They take your information and convert it into a page that helps to endear you to the recruiter. Resume writing involves some form of technical templates to follow. Many recruiters will prefer it to be chronological. That is, it contains your recent job history in the order you took them on, as it relates to the current role. Also, it includes neatly arranged headings and sub-headings, margins, active language uses, and highlights of important achievements. Note that a resume makes use of professional fonts. How much does it cost to hire someone to write a resume? First, hiring someone to write a resume is a promising venture everyone should invest in. However, how much that costs now depends on each writer hired to write the resume. To write your resume, each writing service charges differently. However, one thing that stays consistent is the excellence of the delivery. The price also differs based on the peculiarities of the work. For instance, the price of writing a resume with a shorter deadline would be different than that which was delivered on the number of days stipulated by the writing platform. The same goes for the type of grade the resume is written for. The career level is a major determinant of the price range of hiring a writer on some of these professional writing services to craft an excellent resume. The price for a high schooler is way less than that of an executive client. Further, as noted earlier, different companies write resumes for different prices. 99Papers, for example, writes theirs for $12.60 with a 15-day delivery timeline.
