S4E13 | Silicon Forest: The Plan to Keep Oregon Ahead in Semiconductors

What does it take to keep a tech ecosystem alive when the rules of the industry are changing? 🤔💭


In this episode of #DAREwithDarwoft, Ned Hayes sits down with Soley Azer, Executive Director of Silicon Forest Partnership and former Intel leader, to explore what’s really at stake in the future of semiconductors.


This conversation dives into the real challenges behind the chip industry—from Moore’s Law hitting physical limits to the fragmentation of talent and resources—and what it takes to build something resilient in response. Because the future of technology doesn’t just depend on chips. It depends on the ecosystems that make them possible.
