Asked by: Dave Doogan (Scottish National Party - Angus and Perthshire Glens)
Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:
What discussions she has had with industry bodies on implementation of the National semiconductor strategy.
Answered by Paul Scully
The Government’s new National Semiconductor Strategy sets out an ambitious vision for the sector and was developed through extensive engagement with industry and academia, including TechUK, Institute of Physics and TechWorks.
We are committed to strengthening this cooperation as we implement the strategy, including through a new Semiconductor Advisory Panel.
This will bring together key industry figures to provide advice and create shared plans as we strive to realise our vision.
