Event round-up: How semiconductors will drive forward the Net Zero transition
On Tuesday 14th May, as a part of our Unleashing Innovation Campaign Week, we hosted a Webinar on the role of Semiconductors in driving Net Zero.
This fascinating session saw techUK joined by an expert panel to deliver a series of talks on Semiconductors and Net Zero.
Topics ranged from Digital Twins removing the need for physical prototyping, to item tracking to reduce waste, new forms of energy and much more.
We were joined by:
👉Sally Roberts, Business Development Manager, CSA Catapult Presentation here
👉Tigran Malkhasyan, Senior Manager, Risks, Controls, Compliance and Internal Audit, Deloitte
👉Manuel Rei, Semiconductor Industry Solution Experience Director, Dassault Systèmes Presentation here
👉Professor Paul Meredith, Swansea University
👉David Verity Senior Director, Technology Platform, Pragmatic Semiconductor Presentation here

Thanks to all delegates and speakers for making this event such a success. Don’t miss out on future events, sign up here.
techUK – Unleashing UK Tech and Innovation
The UK is home to emerging technologies that have the power to revolutionise entire industries. From quantum to semiconductors; from gaming to the New Space Economy, they all have the unique opportunity to help prepare for what comes next.
techUK members lead the development of these technologies. Together we are working with Government and other stakeholders to address tech innovation priorities and build an innovation ecosystem that will benefit people, society, economy and the planet - and unleash the UK as a global leader in tech and innovation.
