Semiconductor Global Innovation Network (GIN)

The UK semiconductor ecosystem is expanding rapidly, and the Global Innovation Network will help shape UK-international engagement within the industry.

Strengthening UK-international collaboration

The Semiconductor Global Innovation Network (GIN) aims to strengthen collaboration across the UK by connecting semiconductor companies with universities, research organisations, industry bodies, government partners and the wider innovation ecosystem in the UK and globally. The network will make it easier for organisations to share knowledge, identify complementary expertise and develop new partnerships across regions and sectors.

Internationally, the network will provide a trusted gateway between the UK semiconductor community and overseas companies, research institutes, innovation agencies, clusters and government partners. Through engagement, shared learning and targeted introductions, it will help UK and international organisations understand one another’s capabilities, identify common innovation priorities and turn promising connections into lasting collaborations.
