The UK Semiconductor Centre is a national institution promoting the development of the country's semiconductor industry, primarily responsible for supporting growth strategies for the UK semiconductor ecosystem and fostering international cooperation and partnerships in technology fields such as Artificial Intelligence and advanced hardware development.

This agreement is based on the consensus reached between Japanese and UK leaders in January 2026 to strengthen cooperation in the technology sector. As part of advancing this collaboration, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi visited the UK on June 14 and met with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to solidify Japan-UK technology cooperation. Within this framework, Rapidus and the UK Semiconductor Centre have concluded the aforementioned MoU.

Rapidus is currently conducting trial production, aiming to achieve mass production of cutting-edge 2-nanometer logic semiconductors in Japan by 2027. With the signing of this MoU, both parties will initiate information sharing and discussions to strengthen future collaboration.
