AQUARIUS has emerged as a pioneering start-up in the semiconductor industry. Founded by industry veterans, it is set to address the pressing need for local manufacturing support services. Provision of such services will help solve some of the logistical challenges that are faced by Fabless companies operating in the UK.

It has developed alliances with several UK and worldwide companies, resulting in being able to offer tester access, test development services, small batch/low volume production and a route to seamless large-scale production. Qualification benefits are leveraged from other collaborations and from the perspective of having qualification and test services co-located in the UK.
