Government running semiconductor trip to Korea

Successful candidates will build networks with Korean semiconductor researchers to identify collaborative semiconductor research and innovation opportunities between the UK and Korea.

The visit will take place in the week commencing 17 February 2025 and will be a 3-day tailored programme to support innovative UK and Korean semiconductor collaboration.

The programme will be personalised based on the attendees, but it will include visits to Korean KIST Korean institute of science and technologysemiconductor organisations, networking opportunities with Korean stakeholders and policymakers, presentations from experts and industry leaders, and workshops a roundtable with Korean experts and government representatives on collaboration opportunities.


The DSIT welcomes applications from all stakeholders that would benefit from collaboration with Korea and particularly from applicants interested in collaborating with Korea in the following areas of semiconductor research:

  • Heterogeneous integration and advanced packaging (including AI hardware)
  • Wide band gap materials and packaging for power electronics
  • Future telecoms
  • Advanced technologies for smart networks
  • RF wireless and photonics

The programme offers the opportunity to create connections, develop joint UK and ROK R&I collaboration opportunities  and provide suggestions to DSIT to support this.

The programme will support UK and ROK stakeholders to take advantage of jointly funded R&I programmes – which could include the Horizon Europe, Eureka, and any future bilateral programmes.

All UK-registered stakeholders with a focus on semiconductors, that are interested in R&I collaboration and commercialisation are eligible to apply

The DSIT  wants to include a variety of stakeholders, for example across different focus areas and UK geographical locations.

Some stakeholders, including SMEs, may be eligible for funding to cover the costs of the trip. Further detail will be provided to successful applicants. Further funding will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Eligible stakeholders that are interesting in participating are invited to submit the following competitive application form.

DSIT is looking to attract stakeholders that are likely to successfully engage in collaborative R&I projects with the Korea in the future.
