The U.S. Department of State and India Semiconductor Mission are collaborating under the CHIPS Act's International Technology Security and Innovation (ITSI) Fund to strengthen the global semiconductor supply chain. The partnership will assess India's semiconductor ecosystem and regulatory framework to identify growth opportunities. The study involves Indian stakeholders like state governments, educational institutions, and private firms. The CHIPS Act provides $500 million over five years to promote secure semiconductor and telecommunications technologies, aiming to build a resilient global semiconductor value chain.

Cambridge was very much to the fore as the G7 Semiconductors Points of Contact group met at Arm’s HQ in the city. And in an allied initiative Cambridge projects involving Paragraf® and the University of Cambridge shared in an £11.5m superchip research haul. Arm CEO Rene Haas hoped the initiatives would prove just the start of a concerted campaign to grow the sector – especially now the company is leading the charge with a new global push in the field of AI. He said: “It is an honour to host the stakeholder forum ahead of the G7 Semiconductors Points of Contact group at Arm’s global headquarters in Cambridge to advance collective efforts from industry, research organisations and governments to increase supply chain resilience, security, and energy efficiency. We look forward to continued partnership with the G7 representatives and the UK government as we work to enable innovation and realise the full potential of AI.” The meeting immediately followed the OECD Semiconductor Informal Exchange Network gathering, where countries and stakeholders shared strategies for strengthening global semiconductor supply chains and addressing shared challenges in the semiconductor industry. The UK is playing a key role in the OECD’s efforts to unite government and industry in navigating the complexities of the global chip supply chain. More concerted support for semiconductor scale-ups was announced as Lord Vallance kicked off the G7 conference. He revealed that UK semiconductor firms producing vital technology from phone screens to surgical lasers were among 16 projects sharing an £11.5 million pot – provided by Innovate UK – to drive the innovation. Cambridge organisations were again to the fore: Paragraf shares more than £1.4m with research partners UK Electronics Skills Foundation (UKESF), University of Birmingham, Cupio Services Ltd and the University of Glasgow. Paragraf’s vision is to set up the first 2D materials device foundry in the world, focusing first on graphene. Another project, led by Quantum Solutions with the University of Cambridge, is developing advanced shortwave infrared (SWIR) sensors which improve vision in critical sectors like defence, by supporting surveillance in challenging conditions in low-visibility environments, such as during adverse weather conditions or atmospheric disturbances.

🌟 Exciting times for the UK semiconductor sector! 🌟 Today, Saqib Bhatti MP MBE, Minister for Tech and the Digital Economy, announced the establishment of the new UK Semiconductor Institute. This independent institute marks a pivotal step in advancing the government’s National Semiconductor Strategy, with a strong emphasis on #innovation, #research, and #commercialisation. The creation of this institute was a key recommendation from a report by the Institute for Manufacturing (IfM), University of Cambridge, IfM Engage and Cambridge Industrial Innovation Policy by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. The new UK Semiconductor Institute will focus on: 🔬 Enabling UK semiconductor innovation and commercialisation through technology strategy setting 🌐 Improving access to infrastructure 🤝 Bringing together industry, academia and government to collaborate on key issues such as workforce development. The IfM Engage consortium was commissioned in 2023 to assess the most appropriate way to deliver national capabilities that would positively impact the semiconductor industry. As part of the study, Cambridge Industrial Innovation Policy conducted an international review of comparable innovation centres supporting the semiconductor value chain in the European Union, Japan, Taiwan, and the USA.
