The Pax Silica Summit is a United States-led initiative on securing technology supply chains. The summit was held in Washington D.C. on 12 December 2025. We joined 6 other countries in signing the Pax Silica Declaration at the summit.
Making sure our technology supply chains are resilient as the world around us changes is a core economic, strategic and security concern.
