Looking ahead

TI continued to educate and engage U.S. policymakers on critical issues and forged new relationships with key government officials globally on issues of mutual interest and alignment. We conveyed information about policies and legislation that would benefit TI, our stakeholders and communities, and society as a whole.

Our company advanced initiatives that promote innovation; improve science and engineering infrastructures; reduce trade barriers; and accelerate the deployment of energy-efficient and clean energy technologies, as well as other technologies related to growth. We also advocated for sound tax, environmental and workforce policies.

As part of a $2.3 billion stimulus-funded green jobs program that President Barack Obama's administration announced in 2009, TI was among 183 U.S. companies that received a federal tax credit to spur job creation and manufacturing of clean energy technologies. This credit was associated with our Richardson fabrication site (RFAB), which began producing the latest generation of analog chips.

Approximately half of the chips produced will be power management and storage product devices that will achieve unprecedented levels of energy savings in their end-use applications, such as handsets, LCD televisions, notebook PCs, servers and hard disk drives.

Looking ahead

In 2011, we will seek to engage new members of Congress elected in the 2010 mid-term elections and promote work with the U.S. government, as well as governments and other stakeholders in key regions of the world. Our objectives are to advance growth opportunities, ensure a fair and competitive playing field for TI products, and advance our reputation as an ethical supplier and partner.
