On 26 August 2026, TechWorks brings NMI, DESN, AESIN and the IoT Security Foundation together under one roof at the Novotel London West: four conferences, 600+ leaders, and the full UK deep tech value chain in a single day. It also marks TechWorks' 30th anniversary. We're proud to be supporting it as a Bronze Sponsor.

A community we've been part of for a long time

yieldHUB has been a member of the National Microelectronics Institute (NMI), now part of TechWorks, for more than 10 years. In that time the UK has become a home market for us as much as a place we visit: we have customers across the UK and team members based here too. Events like S2S26 are where that network actually meets.

Our VP of Operations, Kevin Robinson, is Co-chair of FACTYR, the DESN initiative building a more connected UK capability in Failure Analysis, Characterisation, Test, Yield and Reliability.

What FACTYR covers

The UK's expertise in all five is deep but fragmented. FACTYR maps it and cuts reliance on overseas services. We back it: data ties it together.

finding root cause early, so recalls, scrap and long development cycles don't compound.

understanding device behaviour across operating conditions to refine designs, models and processes.

verifying devices against specification and catching defects before they reach the field.

maximising good die per wafer, the direct lever on cost, scalability and time-to-market, and the problem yieldHUB was built to solve.

proving devices hold up over time and under real-world stress, especially in automotive, aerospace and healthcare.

Who you'll meet

Kevin Robinson (VP Operations) and Michael Clarke (Director of Customer Success) will be there all day. Come and talk to us about centralising test data across your test houses, correlating parametric and bin results, or where your yield is quietly leaking.
