GTA Semiconductor Connect is the in-person event series of the Global Tech Advocates – Semiconductor Working Group.

​Launching in 2026, this new initiative will run on a bi‑monthly basis, bringing together professionals from across the semiconductor ecosystem to meet in person, discuss timely industry topics, and build meaningful collaborations.

​Our flagship series will be hosted in London, with plans to encourage GTA members and regional hubs to run their own Semiconductor Connect sessions around the world — reflecting the truly global nature of the GTA network.

​

​2026 February GTA Semiconductor Connect (London)

​For our first session, we will feature:

Speaker 1: Lawrence Lundy-Bryan, Founding Partner, Cloudberry VC

Lawrence will introduce Cloudberry VC — Europe’s first dedicated semiconductor venture fund — and share insights on the current funding landscape for early-stage semiconductor startups, including how deeptech VCs are thinking about Series A investments.

Speaker 2: Pamela Hsieh, Founding Partner, Pachamama Capital

​Pamela will discuss scale-up funding strategies and syndication for £10m+ growth rounds, with a focus on how she mobilises Taiwanese investors to support UK and European semiconductor scale-ups.
