Information about Semiconductor Advisory Panel including its role and members.

The UK Semiconductor Advisory Panel was established by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) to provide a formal conduit for industry, academia and government to work closely together to deliver on the government’s strategic aims for the semiconductor sector. These aims include growing the UK semiconductor sector, safeguarding the UK against supply chain disruption, and protecting the UK against the security risks arising from semiconductor technologies.
