Semiconductors: Manufacturing Industries

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, with reference to the National Semiconductor Strategy published in May 2023, if she will provide funding in the forthcoming Autumn Statement to support non-silicon semiconductor manufacturing including flexible circuits.

Answer

The National Semiconductor Strategy sets out the government’s plan to build on the UK’s strengths to grow our sector, increase our resilience and protect our security.

We will announce plans by the autumn to further support the competitiveness of the semiconductor manufacturing sector that is critical to the UK tech ecosystem or our national security.

We have engaged extensively with industry including with the new Semiconductor Advisory Panel to inform our approach.
