Impactful Policy Frameworks
CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 (US)
This act provides roughly $52.7 billion in funding for American semiconductor research, development, manufacturing, and workforce development.
The CHIPS Act directly incentivizes increased domestic semiconductor manufacturing, creating a significant opportunity for Athena Technology Solutions to support new factory builds and expansions with MES/PLM implementations.
Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 (US - ongoing implementation)
CMMC 2.0 is a Department of Defense (DoD) program designed to ensure defense contractors and their supply chain adequately protect sensitive unclassified information.
This policy mandates enhanced cybersecurity measures for manufacturers in the defense supply chain, increasing the need for secure and compliant digital manufacturing solutions that Athena can provide.
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 (US)
The IRA includes significant investments in clean energy manufacturing through tax credits, grants, and loan guarantees, particularly for electric vehicles, batteries, and renewable energy technologies.
This act fuels growth in the clean energy manufacturing sector, aligning with Athena's expertise in LED, battery, and solar manufacturing, and driving demand for advanced digital solutions.
