As written in the research. Data checked 29 October 2026.

UK companies that design AI chips, inference accelerators, photonic and optical computing, AI networking silicon and new kinds of low-power compute, and the chips they make.

In scope are UK-headquartered chip and hardware designers whose products run, connect or speed up AI, the named chips they have launched (bucket prod), and the UK chip-design bases of foreign firms (as foreign_with_uk_base). Data-centre operators, GPU clouds and cooling firms are out of scope and sit on the Data centres and Cloud and compute pages.
