The UK Semiconductor Strategy

  • May 24, 2023 6:00 PM - 9:30 PM
  • Online or in person at the Royal Society

The Government published its long-awaited national semiconductor strategy on 19 May 2023. This event explored the strategy and what it means for UK industry, both for silicon and compound semiconductors. Questions considered included: How do we ensure that the UK has a secure supply of the semiconductors it needs now and in the future? What does the UK semiconductor industry need to thrive? How do we maximise opportunities for next generation semiconductors? And how does all this sit within the Government's new Science and Technology Framework?
