UKRI Stories | Connecting compound semiconductor expertise in south Wales @UKResearchandInnovation | Uploaded September 2021 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
The CSConnected compound semiconductor cluster in south Wales is building on the area’s strengths in advanced semiconductor #materials and #manufacturing, and local #research and #innovation expertise including #Cardiff and #Swansea Universities.

It will give the UK a global advantage in #semiconductor technology and help the #SouthWales compound semiconductor industry to create 3,000 #jobs by 2025, increase its direct contribution to the local #economy to £265 million per year and improve #skills among local people.

And it’s supported by £25 million from our #StrengthInPlaces Fund plus input from other parts of the UKRI family including the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council #EPSRC, Innovate UK’s Compound Semiconductor Applications #Catapult and Research England’s UK Research Partnership Investment Fund #UKRPIF. #InvestingForImpact
