Motivation

The main motivation for introduction of this network was based on the following:

• Changing market dynamics and economics of production
• Common issues faced in advanced technology nodes (Dfx)
• NPI vs. ROI - the economics are getting tougher.
• There is a need for increased collaboration between all stakeholders

Purpose

• Enable / facilitate collaboration, communication and Knowledge transfer
• Challenge the way of working to embrace new technology nodes.
• Increase awareness externally of the network’s capabilities and opportunities
• Signposting of UK capabilities, requirements and strengths.
