PRAGMATIC VISIT
It was a pleasure to visit PragmatIC yesterday to discuss the UK’s #semiconductor strategy and how the company’s unique technology and distributed manufacturing model make them global leaders in semiconductor #innovation.
Semiconductors are of profound importance to a huge range of technologies that underpin modern society, such as the internet, smart phones, LED lighting and electric vehicles.
The recent Chinese military drills around Taiwan, home to TSMC, which accounts for 90 per cent of the world’s cutting-edge chip capacity, have underlined the rest of the world’s dependency on a few large manufacturers mostly based in Asia.
Western countries have sought to boost domestic manufacturing in response. Therefore, having visited PragmatIC’s cutting-edge facility, I am confident that the UK’s semiconductor industry will continue to thrive.
