Pragmatic hosted a parliamentary roundtable to discuss how we can turn the Government’s ambition into a reality.

When minimalism burst onto the scene in the middle of the 20th century, its principles of elegant simplicity revolutionised design. Inspired by Japanese Zen Buddhism and its rejection of the unnecessary, its pared-back forms emphasised spareness – and achieved greater impact because of it.   Now, it might be an engineer’s fanciful notion, but I look […]

Emre Ozer, Pragmatic’s Senior Director, Processor Development, discusses the development of the world’s first e-nose sensor system on flexible substrate  A friend buys you a bunch of flowers. The first thing you do is plunge your nose in and inhale. It’s an automatic – almost visceral – reaction. The gesture is simple, but getting your […]

Our CTO, Richard Price, featured live on Sky News on the Ian King Show, discussing the industry, funding and the need for a UK semiconductor strategy. Watch the clip here.

Our CEO, Scott White, featured live on BBC Radio 4 following a joint report published by the IOP and RAE, calling for financial support for the semiconductor sector in the UK. Listen to the clip here.

The boss of one of the UK’s leading microchip firms, Pragmatic Semiconductor, is calling for the government to invest “hundreds of millions” in the sector.

Our CTO, Richard Price, featured on BBC News Look North, discussing our next-generation production facility, Pragmatic Park, which will house the most advanced semiconductor manufacturing line in the UK. Watch the clip here.

The semiconductor industry has urged the government to outline a semiconductor strategy, and commit taxpayer funding to prevent the UK losing out on investment to rival markets.

Some of Britain’s top microchip companies have held talks with the White House after a $53bn (£44bn) subsidy scheme launched by Joe Biden triggered a scramble to shift operations to the US.

The UK government should play to its existing strengths in the semiconductor industry rather than trying to directly compete with China, Taiwan, and the US, according to the co-founder of Pragmatic Semiconductor.

Substituting silicon chips with flexible semiconductors can vastly reduce the environmental impact of smart products. A new white paper from Pragmatic looks at the emissions profile of semiconductor manufacturing, and its impact on the carbon footprint of smart products. The paper finds that substituting silicon chips for fit-for-purpose flexible integrated circuits (FlexICs) can reduce energy […]

As the Government continues to devise and implement policies to support its goal to make the UK a science and technology superpower, including the publication of its Framework, a number of questions remain: will enough be done to reach that goal in 2030? What more must be done to supercharge the UK’s efforts?

One of the latest mantras to trip off the tongues of U.K. government ministers is “science superpower.”

If you’ve been reading the tech press for as long as I have, you’ll know that the Internet of Everything (IoE) has been heralded as the Next Big Thing for quite some time now. Going beyond the well-established Internet of Things (IoT), the IoE anticipates an ecosystem of 360-degree intelligence, where anything and everything will […]

UK semiconductor bosses are pleading with the government for subsidies amid fears that some chip firms will be forced to move overseas.
