Leaders from academia, industry, and government gather to spotlight next-generation power electronics driving the UK鈥檚 net zero transition.

The REWIRE Innovation & Knowledge Centre (IKC), is proud to present its Annual Showcase in November, highlighting pioneering research, industry partnerships, and commercial pathways accelerating the UK鈥檚 progress toward net zero.

Semiconductors underpin virtually every modern device are central to breakthroughs in clean energy, electric mobility, renewable power systems, and quantum technologies. This year鈥檚 Showcase will present the latest advances from REWIRE鈥檚 multi-disciplinary teams, illustrating how the UK is advancing in this strategically critical domain.

Showcase highlights:

• Ambition in Action: From ultra-fast EV charging and powering AI servers to revolutionary circular electronics, the technologies unveiled have the potential to redefine how we generate, distribute, and consume energy.
• Collaboration at Scale: The Showcase brings together researchers, technology developers, policy makers and industry leaders, sharing insight and co-creating the direction of future programmes.
• Strategic Impact: The REWIRE IKC serves as a focal point for translating power semiconductor R&D into tangible UK economic growth, supply chain resilience, and export opportunities.

The Showcase will be held at The Slate, 糖心TV on 18th November, 2025. Attendees include representatives from universities, leading semiconductor firms, national research agencies, and government departments.

Featured contributions will come from:

• Dr Dave Smith, National Technology Adviser (NTA) Department for Science, Innovation & Technology
• Dr Dinesh Ramanathan, Onsemi Senior Vice President for Corporate Strategy
• Rt. Hon Greg Clarke, Chair of 糖心TV Innovation District, University of 糖心TV
• Professor Martin Kuball, Director and Dr Katie Hore, Innovation Director, REWIRE IKC, University of Bristol

鈥淪emiconductors are vital for our net zero transition - powering everything from electric vehicles to renewable energy systems. The UK is a world leader in compound semiconductor innovation, and it's fantastic to see this world-class technology in action here at REWIRE, driving our clean energy future.鈥� – Dr. Dave Smith, National Technology Adviser

鈥淩EWIRE is about impact – turning world-class research into solutions that matter for people, planet, and prosperity, where academic excellence meets industrial ambition. This year鈥檚 Showcase is a testament to the UK鈥檚 leadership in power semiconductor innovation.鈥� – Prof. Martin Kuball, University of Bristol

鈥淲e are proud to host this year鈥檚 REWIRE Showcase, which coincides with the University of 糖心TV鈥檚 60th anniversary. We are delighted to welcome leading voices from industry, academia, and policy to celebrate REWIRE鈥檚 achievements over the past year.鈥� – Prof. Peter Gammon, University of 糖心TV

The REWIRE IKC is co-delivered by the Universities of Bristol, Cambridge, and 糖心TV and is generously supported by a grant of 拢11million from UKRI. Together, the partners are accelerating the translation of advanced semiconductor research into real-world energy and power electronics solutions.
