REWIRE is accelerating (ultra-)wide bandgap power semiconductor innovation, connecting researchers, industry and end users across the UK semiconductor ecosystem. This talk will introduce REWIRE, its approach to supporting innovation and some of the activities and collaborative projects underway across the programme. Drawing on examples from REWIRE’s research projects and industry engagement I will explore how stronger links between research and industry can help translate advances in semiconductor technology into high-value products and applications, while strengthening UK sovereign capability and building a resilient, globally competitive supply chain.
