Video: A new era of semiconductor industry impact on economics and politics
Sue Daley, techUK's Director of tech and innovation, was joined by Dr. Huang, the Chairman/CEO of Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation and Chairman of Taiwan Advanced Automotive Technology Development Association for a fireside chat at CogX 2023. You can watch the video below
The discussion highlighted the emergence of a new era where the semiconductor industry has impact on economics and politics. Indeed, this year UK Government published its semiconductor Strategy, with a focus on nurturing UK talent and building future supply chains.
techUK has partnered with CogX - an annual festival hosted in London that brings together change makers, industry leaders, and world-leading innovators - to explore the hottest topics, from generative AI to climatetech and from life sciences to quantum.
