This government recognises the strategic importance of semiconductors as a critical technology for the future of the UK and a significant enabler of the government’s growth and clean energy missions. We have announced our plan to align key government finance institutions, such as the UK Infrastructure Bank, under the National Wealth Fund, which will boost growth and unlock investment in sectors like the semiconductor industry.
