Overview
The CSconnected Supply Chain Development Programme Supplier Day Event, taking place in Newport.

South Wales has built one of the UK’s most advanced and interconnected compound semiconductor supply chains, and this event showcases how this is directly fuelling the UK’s most strategically important industries.

This event will spotlight the compound semiconductor supply chain across South Wales and the wider UK, bringing together industry leaders, innovators, policymakers and investors for a day of insight, collaboration and opportunity.

This in-person event also offers the opportunity to meet CSconnected cluster organisations, hear from key UK-based industry leaders and crucially to hear about the fourth and final call from CSconnected’s £1m Supply Chain Development Programme.
