Any industrial strategy that seeks to boost the economy, support productivity, and unlock wider growth, is not possible without the bedrock of semiconductor technology.
Semiconductors underpin each of the eight growth-driving sectors identified in the Industrial Strategy, making it critical that the UK has strong capabilities in their development, application, and commercialisation.
But how can we bolster these capacities?
Alongside our 1000+ members across manufactures, consumer electronics, emerging technology and of course dedicated semiconductor companies, we’re delighted to launch our 6-chapter guide to policymakers, a UK Plan for Chips: a new techUK blueprint.
Join us in-person to discuss each of these key six chapters, hearing from those key to turning this strategy into action. The UK industry needs more than light touches. Don’t miss out this opportunity to hear from, and network with, key government and industry leaders on how we can:
-
Retain our position as a global leader on chip IP and design
-
Support applied R&D and manufacturing
-
Incentive investment into new areas of growth, including advanced designs, emerging technologies, and end user readiness.
-
Promote innovation and support scale ups through access to markets and private capital
-
Nurture the skills we need for the chips industry
-
Develop resilient supply chains through international engagement
