"UK inside"

By far the bulk of UK and Irelands microelectronics output is exported to OEMs around the world where it is integrated into electronics products. Many of todays leading brands have technology sourced from this region whether its a mobile handset, set-top box, digital TV or radio, Satelite Navigation device or simply a control system in a car - there's a rich diversity of output.

The major regions which our members are interested in for trade are:

For domestic UK companies we work with national government to help promote our industry, broker meetings or simply sign-post relevant activities with these regions. Why not contact us if you can help us with this activity or if you're looking for specific technology or simply an introduction.

A great place to be for R&D...

Many of the worlds electronics companies have design and manufacturing bases here too - the last time we checked, 17 of the worlds top 25 semiconductor companies had design and development operations here. NMI is in contact with the vast majority of these companies and even if they're not members there's a good chance they'll have been represented at our many networking events along the way.

If you're looking at the region for inward investment then we can certainly help get you plugged into all the right people - the NMI network  is quite simply the most comprehensive network operating through-out the region.

Just ask us...

We've been operating for over 12 years and our staff are recruited from (this) industry with typically 20+ years experience each in both small and multi-national corporations. We're very well connected - if we do not know the answer to your question ourselves there's a high probability that we'll know someone who does.
