Role of the Group
The Semiconductor Advisory Panel was established by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) to enable the government to work closely with industry to deliver the goals of the National Semiconductor Strategy on growing the UK sector, ensuring a stable supply of chips and protecting the UK from national security risks associated with semiconductor technology.
The panel is a formal conduit for industry to feed into government actions in support of the semiconductor strategy and to encourage industry to take joined-up action towards the goals of the strategy.
The panel will be co-chaired by the Minister for Tech and the Digital Economy, Saqib Bhatti MP, and respected UK semiconductor industry veteran Dr Jalal Bagherli.
