The UK and Europe have benefited enormously from collaborative research and development for many decades and have become the envy of the World in terms of academic papers, citations and patents per head of population. However, our record on successful exploitation and commercialisation of such world leading research efforts has not kept apace leaving the region vulnerable to geopolitical actions that affect global supply chain movements. Now, the CSconnected movement centred around South Wales in the UK, is striving to build regional collaborative manufacturing capabilities around new and emerging technologies that are enabled by the home-grown expertise in compound semiconductors, thereby securing future supply and growth.
