The national interest in CETs and associated areas of standardization demands an increased level of coordination and effort and will require the rapid development of new ways for public- and private-sector stakeholders to work together to advance U.S. national security and economic competitiveness. An effective center of excellence will facilitate U.S. ability to meet these challenges by focusing on all aspects of standardization for critical and emerging technologies.
Under the Cooperative Agreement with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the ASCET Center of Excellence will initially focus on the following CETs. Many of the tools and products developed may also be applied across additional CETs.
- Artificial Intelligence
- Biotechnology
- Quantum Technology
- Semiconductors and Microelectronics
