Siemens is a German technology conglomerate founded in Berlin in 1847 by Werner von Siemens around a telegraph that indicated letters rather than Morse code. After a decade of divestments it now concentrates on industry, infrastructure, transport and healthcare, supplying factory automation and control systems, building and grid technology, trains and signalling, and the Teamcenter and NX design software acquired through a long run of software purchases. The Siemens Xcelerator platform ties hardware to software and digital twins, and the group retains a majority stake in the separately listed medical imaging company Siemens Healthineers.

Graphcore is a British semiconductor company founded in Bristol in 2016 that designs the Intelligence Processing Unit, a processor architected specifically for machine learning rather than adapted from graphics. Its chips place large amounts of memory directly on the die and expose fine-grained parallelism, an approach aimed at sparse and irregular models that map poorly onto conventional accelerators. The company sells IPU systems and the Poplar software stack to research and enterprise customers, and has operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of SoftBank Group since its acquisition in 2024.
Every hardware, chip design, embedded, electrical and semiconductor process role at any employer, and the engineering, science, technician and IT roles of the semiconductor companies - chip designers, fabs and foundries, equipment makers, photonics. Their sales, finance and office roles are left out.
