For our November meeting, we had the pleasure of hosting Edelweiss Ritt (bio below) to talk about the semiconductor industry and policy in Brazil. This is a topic of much debate in Latin America as the only microchip fab in the region - the state-owned CEITEC - is being liquidated by the Brazilian government.
