IQE CEO Americo Lemos confirmed as member of UK Government
Semiconductor Advisory Panel
-- Key element of the UK Semiconductor Strategy, the Panel
brings together expertise from across industry and academia to work
towards the Government's Strategy goals
IQE plc (AIM: IQE, "IQE" or the "Group"), the leading supplier
of compound semiconductor wafer products and advanced material
solutions to the global semiconductor industry, is pleased to
announce that its CEO, Americo Lemos, has today joined the UK
Government's Semiconductor Advisory Panel.
Americo joins the Panel, confirmed by the Department for
Science, Innovation and Technology and first announced in the UK
Government's Semiconductor Strategy released in May. The Panel
includes representatives from across business and academia and will
convene every two months to advise how industry and Government can
work together to develop the UK semiconductor ecosystem.
The work of the Panel will be guided by the three key goals set
out in the Semiconductor Strategy, namely growing the domestic
semiconductor sector, mitigating the risk of supply chain
disruptions and protecting national security.
The Strategy identified compound semiconductors as one of the
areas in which the UK is world-leading, and maintaining this
position in compound semiconductor innovation and manufacturing
will be critical. These semiconductors will deliver next-generation
technology in key applications ranging from 5G communications,
electric and autonomous vehicles, to the efficient energy
infrastructure that will be necessary to achieve Net Zero.
Americo Lemos, CEO of IQE, said:
"I am pleased to be representing the semiconductor manufacturing
industry on the Government's Advisory Panel. Working closely with
partners from across the industry, our focus is the development of

position as a global leader in the semiconductor ecosystem."
