Recommendation 52

52 Deferred Paragraph: 169

Engage companies to secure investment in UK semiconductor and wind industries for supply resilience

Conclusion
The UK should engage with Taiwanese and other major companies to secure inward investment in the semiconductor and wind industries in the UK to enhance resilience by building an alternative supply source for advanced semiconductors and wind energy components, whether this involves onshoring or friendshoring.
Government Response Summary
The government's response addresses the issue of foreign powers intimidating individuals in the UK, which is unrelated to the recommendation to secure inward investment from Taiwanese companies in semiconductors and wind industries.
