UKTIN Semiconductors Expert Working Group

The UK Telecoms Innovation Network (UKTIN) Semiconductors Expert Working Group focuses on the interplay between silicon and compound semiconductors, assessing where UK industry has a competitive advantage to address the demands of future telecom networks.

It takes an advisory role, feeding insights and expertise into all UKTIN working groups.

Working in close collaboration with leading academic and industry experts, the group will address a range of key issues and questions.
