Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what progress they have made towards supporting companies involved in the Semiconductor Catapult.

The Government is committed to supporting UK semiconductor companies to innovate, commercialise and scale. The Semiconductor Catapult expands the remit of the Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult and will provide companies with access to specialist expertise and facilities, supporting semiconductor technologies from development through to commercialisation. Alongside the UK Semiconductor Centre and wider UKRI programmes, it will strengthen routes to market, support scale-up and help build resilient UK semiconductor supply chains.
