Semiconductors 4 Photonics

This event has ended.

Organised in partnership with High Tech NL and supported by the Welsh Government, CSconnected presents ‘Semiconductors 4 Photonics’.

Semiconductors and photonics are at the heart of a wide range of critical technologies including connectivity, healthcare, sensing and energy.

The ‘Semiconductor 4 Photonics’ webinar will focus on building, and strengthening existing relationships, between the United Kingdom and Netherlands.

Join us on Tuesday March 8th 2022 at 9am GMT / 10am CET, to hear from the CSconnected and High Tech NL clusters joined by panel of expert speakers in the Semiconductor 4 Photonics sector.

About

High Tech NL
High Tech NL is the branch association of the Dutch high tech industry consisting of 200+ members, both companies (OEM, SME and start-ups) and knowledge institutes. High Tech NL is committed to the collective interests of the sector, with a focus on long-term innovation and international collaboration. Members share their knowledge, look for ways to cooperate and use the powerful network to become more successful innovators.

In order to strengthen the network, High Tech NL works together with more than 40 other networks, development companies, interest groups and clusters both in the Netherlands and abroad. To share specific knowledge, each member participates in one or more of the three clusters: Holland Robotics, Holland Semiconductors and Holland Life Science Technologies.

CSconnected
CSconnected is the collective brand for a growing number of advanced semiconductor related activities in Wales, home to a unique community of academic institutions, prototyping facilities and global, high-volume manufacturing capabilities that collaborate across a range of research and innovation programs. CSconnected is uniquely positioned to develop a global advantage in a sovereign, key enabling technology which will allow Wales and the UK to increase trade globally in critical sectors such as 5G communications, autonomous and electric vehicles, advanced medical devices, and consumer electronics of the future.

In 2020, CSconnected received government funding provided through UK Research and Innovation’s flagship Strength in Places Fund (SIPF). The 55-month CSconnected SIPF project has a total value of £43million, supported by £25million of UKRI funds. It builds on Wales's regional strengths and integrates research excellence with a unique regional supply chain in compound semiconductor manufacturing.
