Pragmatic Semiconductor

Pragmatic Semiconductor is a UK-based leader in flexible semiconductor technology, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Cambridge.

The company specializes in designing and manufacturing ultra-thin, flexible microchips known as FlexICs, which utilize thin-film semiconductors instead of traditional silicon. This innovative approach results in chips that are thinner than a human hair and more cost-effective to produce. Pragmatic operates its own fabrication facilities, including a large-scale 300 mm flexible semiconductor fab at Pragmatic Park in Durham, UK. The core product of Pragmatic is the FlexIC platform, which supports applications such as smart packaging, RFID, NFC, and IoT sensors. In 2025, the company launched its first commercial product portfolio, NFC Connect, aimed at high-volume, low-cost applications like smart labeling and fingerprint sensors. Pragmatic also offers foundry services, manufacturing custom chip designs for global customers. The company serves a diverse range of sectors, including consumer goods, packaging, and security printing, enabling intelligent solutions for various applications.
