Who is DESN?
The global economy relies on semiconductors. From individual chip design to system-level integration, the design of electronic and photonic devices and systems is fundamental to many industries. Indeed, innovations at the design stage are often where entirely new markets are born.
TechWorks DESN network was established to provide a platform for collaboration and cross-sector innovation connecting leading companies across various industrial sectors. Our mission is to sustain and grow world-class UK chip design capability, driving an innovative agenda that shapes the future.
We operate across all aspects of semiconductor and microelectronic / photonic design, from hardware development to system-level and software engineering.
