What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Cardiff University and Swansea University have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore the creation of the UK's first multi-institution National Compound Semiconductor Pilot Foundry in South Wales. The collaboration aims to strengthen Wales' position in strategic technology sectors, building on the existing South Wales Compound Semiconductor Cluster. Compound semiconductors are vital for applications in defense, clean energy, and artificial intelligence hardware.
