<p>On behalf of the government, DCMS has been reviewing the UK semiconductor sector,
and intends to set out more detail in the forthcoming UK Semiconductor Strategy; this
has been developed by engaging with industry experts, representative bodies and the
wider global community.</p><p>The Government recognises that the UK’s approach to
the semiconductor sector should look to support and build on our existing strengths
domestically, and is considering efficient interventions. The Government is in the
process of commissioning a feasibility study that will explore the potential of developing
or upgrading infrastructure across the UK’s semiconductor ecosystem, in order to better
support innovation and growth.</p><p>Due to the inherently global nature of semiconductor
supply chains it will remain vital that the UK works closely with our international
partners in order to guarantee and safeguard the security of our chip supply, this
is a central pillar of the government’s approach to the sector.</p><p> </p>
