Advocacy and trade organizations

Whenever TI engages in public policy advocacy, whether in the U.S. or abroad, it seeks to work in a constructive manner to articulate the company’s perspective. As appropriate, we work directly with policymakers, their staff, business associations, coalitions and others to make our views known and to influence policy that will facilitate growth and innovation.

To keep our employees apprised of policy issues and progress and their impact on TI, we publish a bimonthly internal newsletter called TI Government Relations (TIGR) News, as well as articles on Infolink, our internal news portal. We also post regular advocacy updates on our Citizenship home page.

As members of various organizations, we collaborate to ensure ongoing trade and competitiveness. We also engage with industry analysts and nongovernmental organizations about our operational and citizenship performance.

Additionally, we engage with industry groups such as the Semiconductor Industry Association and World Semiconductor Council. We meet with other technology companies to discuss business challenges and emerging regulations, forecast industry trends, and share best practices.
