Last week I had the pleasure of visiting Pragmatic Semiconductor to congratulate them on having been worthy finalists in this year’s MacRobert Award. It is the UK’s longest-running and most prestigious national prize for engineering innovation.

Pragmatic develop and manufacture flexible integrated circuits at a fraction of the cost and environmental impact of silicon chips. It was fascinating to hear more about their products and plans for expansion, and I look forward to seeing their business grow from strength to strength.
