World leaders in semiconductor innovation

Pragmatic is revolutionising semiconductor fabrication with ultra-low-cost, flexible integrated circuit technology that makes it quick and easy to embed intelligence almost anywhere.

With rapid cycle times that substantially accelerate time to market, our foundry provides high-volume fabrication at a fraction of the cost of silicon, and with significantly lower environmental impact.

Example applications include radio frequency identification (RFID) and near field communications (NFC), where our chips allow everyday objects to be given unique digital identities as well as interact with their environment. This brings game-changing benefits to the entire product lifecycle, including inventory reduction, traceability, counterfeit detection, proof of provenance, and customer interaction. Pragmatic’s technology is a key enabler for a circular economy and supporting sustainability goals, preserving valuable resources by allowing organisations to effectively reduce, recycle and reuse products and materials.

The Semiconductor Strategy: What comes next for the UK chips industry?

Friday 19th May saw the publication of the Government’s much-anticipated Semiconductor Strategy. As we reflect on the strategy, and the next steps needed to support the UK’s semiconductor industry, we have five clear messages for those who will now be tasked with implementing it.

Transitioning to smart reusable packaging

As concern mounts around the environmental impact of packaging, the pressure is on for manufacturers to move to reusable models. But due to cost, smart reusable packaging has typically been reserved for high-value items.  

Pragmatic’s solution – based on RFID tags enabled with flexible integrated circuits (FlexICs) – provides granular, asset-level data at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions, and a compelling opportunity to make reusable packaging at scale a reality.
