Working Groups
Organize focused expertise around defined areas of work, determine what is needed and mobilize coordinated action. Knowledge and insights flow between working groups, allowing each to benefit from connections across the whole system.
A Whole-System View
The systems behind technology
are increasingly interconnected. Our understanding and our
actions must be too.
Today’s decisions about technology shape the materials, manufacturing, energy, water and workforce behind it.
The Technology Stewardship Alliance brings together the right people to develop a holistic view of technology and the systems that sustain it. Together, we generate knowledge, solve complex challenges, advance innovation and enable coordinated stewardship for the benefit of industry, society and future generations.
Why Technology Stewardship Now
The Technology Stayed in View.
What Made It Possible
Faded into the Background.
Globalization expanded what technology could achieve. Alongside specialization and outsourcing, it spread materials, production and expertise across industries and borders. The products remained visible. The relationships that made them possible became harder to follow.
Those dependencies are now being tested. The push to secure supply chains and rebuild domestic capabilities is exposing gaps in the system. The work ahead is urgent and demands a shared response.
How the Alliance Works
Bring the Right Expertise to the Work That Matters.
So many stakeholders shape technology today, yet each sees only part of the system. The Alliance connects their perspectives and knowledge, reveals what no one can see alone and expands what becomes possible together.
Our work connects inquiry with action: revealing dependencies, identifying gaps and advancing the changes needed to preserve value, strengthen resilience and secure technological leadership.
The system view above makes the need clear: rebuilding domestic capability and meeting tomorrow’s demands require expertise that connects across facilities, supply chains and sectors. This is one expression of the Alliance’s broader work across technology’s lifecycle and the national and global systems that sustain it.
Research, Education & Innovation
Convene expertise across disciplines to reveal how systems connect, translate insight into useful knowledge and open new pathways for innovation.
Convenings & Policy Insight
Bring findings and cross-sector perspectives into the rooms where priorities are set, partnerships are formed and industry and public decisions take shape.
Where the Work Begins
Six Priorities.
A Shared Agenda.
These founding priorities give the Alliance’s research, working groups and convenings an initial focus. Each is a point of entry into a system that extends across the others. As new technologies, dependencies and opportunities emerge, the shared agenda will evolve with them.
Critical Materials & Circular Supply Chains
Resource security, responsible sourcing, traceability and material recovery.
Energy, Water & Infrastructure Resilience
The utilities and physical systems that sustain technology.
Semiconductor Ecosystem
Manufacturing, equipment, materials, packaging and the supply chains behind them.
Digital Infrastructure
Data centers, cloud, artificial intelligence and networks that modern economies rely on.
Technology Recovery & Reintegration
Returning technology, components and materials to productive use.
Technology Futures
Anticipating emerging technologies, advancing innovation and identifying the systems and resources needed to support them.
A Place to Convene. A Broader Mandate.
Phoenix Is a Natural Proving Ground.
Across Greater Phoenix, semiconductor manufacturing, digital infrastructure, academia, essential utilities, technology lifecycle services and a burgeoning greentech community operate in unusually close proximity. Shared pressures on power, water, materials and workforce extend into the surrounding community, whose voice and participation are essential to responsible stewardship. As an accessible U.S. hub with direct connections across the country, Phoenix is a natural place to convene leaders and put that stewardship into practice.
The Alliance brings together members and perspectives from across industries and regions. Phoenix offers a place to explore these shared challenges together, while our work extends across the national and global technology ecosystem. Participation and collaboration reach wherever the expertise and connections are needed.

The Founding Phase
The Right Voices Will Shape What Comes Next.
Founding participants will help define the Alliance’s priorities, working groups and governance. We are bringing together people who hold essential knowledge, see different parts of the system and are willing to work across traditional boundaries.
Initial participation is built around contribution, not dues. The aim is not to assemble the largest group. It is to connect the perspectives needed to see more clearly, ask better questions and shape what comes next.
What Could You Bring to the Alliance?
Start with a conversation about the knowledge, experience and perspective you would bring, and the possibilities you would help the Alliance explore.
