The UK’s dedication to supporting and empowering tech innovators remains strong. The UK Pavilion showcases the dynamic potential of Britain’s thriving tech sector and embodies our commitment to learning from and collaborating with Taiwan’s renowned semiconductor industry.  

John Dennis, Representative at the British Office Taipei said:

We continue to leverage the UK’s world-class expertise across the semiconductor supply chain, fostering innovation and strengthening international ties. Today is not just about inaugurating a pavilion; it is about paving the way for future collaborations between the UK and Taiwan. As global leaders in technology and innovation, with complementary strengths in the semiconductor sector, the UK and Taiwan are natural partners.

Dr Dave Smith, the UK’s National Technology Adviser said:

Taiwan is undoubtedly a powerhouse in advanced semiconductors manufacturing, and one of our top priority markets to support increased cooperation on semiconductors. Throughout my time here, I have been struck by the unique strengths and qualities that the UK and Taiwan bring to one another.  The UK has strengths across the entire semiconductor industry, with three particular areas of strategic advantage – our world-leading research and innovation system, our open market, and our technology ecosystem – and we want to work with likeminded partners like Taiwan to build on these advantages for mutual benefit. 

UK semiconductor research publication ranked 4th globally in 2019-2020, and areas of research strength include advanced packaging, advanced materials, and silicon photonics. The UK is also home to 140 design companies and CSConnected, the world’s first compound semiconductor cluster located in South Wales.  

The UK Pavilion offers various opportunities to gain insights into the UK semiconductor industry. An introduction to the whole UK Delegation, where every participating UK company delivering a 3-minute pitch, will be hosted by Innovate UK, the UK’s innovation agency on 4 Sep, and there will be in-depth focus sessions on the following 2 days on compound semiconductors, photonics, memory, equipment, testing, manufacturing and materials.

Visit the UK Pavilion to learn more about the UK semiconductor industry by this Friday, 6 September.
