While AI dominates headlines, compute innovation is diversifying. Distinct markets are emerging for data centre training, inference, and edge computing, each requiring specialised solutions. Beyond AI, we are seeing a resurgence in CPU innovation and ultra-low latency optical architectures, while quantum computing nears commercial viability. The UK is well-positioned to lead, boasting a rich history of innovation and over 200 semiconductor design teams. The challenge lies in leveraging these domestic strengths within a global landscape currently controlled by a few massive vendors and customers.
