UK Science and Innovation Audit

• In the March 2016 budget South West and East Wales were announced as one of 5 ‘first wave’ Science and Innovation Audits out of 26 submissions

• Compound Semiconductors are a key area the Microelectronics theme

• CU/IQE/CSC theme co-ordinators


Releasing the potential: IPCEI

• Important Projects of Common European Interest

• 6.5B euro ‘Microelectronics for Europe’

• Waiver of State Aid Rules for investment in industry/capital

• Compound Semiconductors = Key Enabling Technology

• Submit proposal mid June 2016 @ 400M Euro for CS

• Success with IPCEI releases potential structural funding for foundry/cluster


Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI)

Funding for: Open Access Pilot Line First Production Scale up R&D


Collaborative Innovation: CoInnovate 2015 – June 2015

• Two-day conference – arising from IQE’s OpenIQE programme

• Key relationships with partners including Airbus & GE Healthcare

• >150 delegates

• Highly positive feedback:• “Did not feel like a first event”

• “Felt industry-led”
