  • Availability of semiconductors already posing a problem for UK automotive OEMs 
  • No UK end-to-end supply chain to meet needs of automotive manufacturing sector 
  • The UK can achieve manufacturing demands if industry, finance, and government work together. 

In this podcast, technology trends consultant Bhavik Shah provides a short explainer of the report and value chain.

Then hear a live panel discussion, hosted by journalist David James in front of a small studio audience, featuring McLaren Applied, Clas-SiC Wafer Fab and Exawatt, to explain the finer details.
