Podcast Series
CSconnected is the world’s first compound semiconductor cluster. Based in South Wales, it is a co-ordinated industrial ecosystem that connects global manufacturers, university research institutes, prototyping and pilot-line facilities, supply-chain firms and workforce pipelines working on compound semiconductor technologies.
As the cluster marks its 10th anniversary, these special podcast episodes consider the economic contribution it makes, the highly-skilled jobs it supports, the private investment it attracts and the opportunities CSconnected will bring to Wales in the future.
Episode One:
Building the World’s First Compound Semiconductor Cluster
For the past 10 years the role of CSconnected has been to align the world-class assets South Wales has across its compound semiconductor ecosystem so that the region functions as a single, globally competitive capability. In this special episode looking back at the decade since its launch, host Gemma Casey is joined by Prof Wyn Meredith, Chair of CSconnected, Chris Meadows, Director at CSconnected, Dr Drew Nelson, co-founder of IQE and Kellie Beirne, CEO of Cardiff Capital Region to assess its impact.
