Spirit Semiconductor Expanding Theale Headquarters and Opening Second Office in Leeds, UK
24.2.2021 12:10:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
Spirit Semiconductor, an innovator in high-performance radio frequency solutions, today announced it will be moving to a new headquarters in Theale, U.K. and will be opening a new satellite office in Leeds, U.K. to tap into the strong radio frequency (RF) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) and filter engineering talent in Northern England. The expansion comes on the heels of swift customer adoption and deployment of Spirit Semiconductor’s technology for 5G massive multiple-input and multiple-output (mMIMO) and small cell base stations.
Since the company’s inception in 2020, it has experienced rapid growth, developing a core team of 15 people in less than one year. Located in one of the U.K.’s technology hotbeds, the new office is five times larger than current Spirit headquarters, boasting 9,000 square feet of office space. The new Leeds office will support the company’s plans to expand its product portfolio and enter into other high growth markets.
“When Spirit Semiconductor was founded last year, we were solely focused on creating cutting edge radio frequency products for 5G mMIMO. Currently, our products are being evaluated by customers but the feedback we have received so far has been hugely positive and really provides us with the encouragement we need to branch out into other markets,” said Mark Moffat, managing director of Spirit Semiconductor. “At this rate, we are targeting 65% growth in 2021. This is only the beginning for our company, and I could not be more excited to see what the next year brings by way of innovation and expansion.”
“Massive MIMO architectures change the fundamental building blocks of the RF chain dramatically,” commented Joe Madden, chief analyst at Mobile Experts. “We are experiencing very rapid market growth for some RF components as the base station design adapts to 32T and 64T variations of massive MIMO, with tight performance requirements for RFICs to support a wide range of applications.”
Spirit Semiconductor is looking for the semiconductor industry’s top talent. The company is currently hiring for several positions: principal filter design engineer, principal MMIC design engineer, senior MMIC design engineer and senior analog IC design engineer. For additional information, contact Luke Ord at IC Resources, luke.ord@ic-resources.com, +44 118 907 3070.
“IC Resources is excited to be helping Spirit Semiconductor to identify the right talent to fuel its impressive growth,” commented Kathy Campling, client services director at IC Resources. “Spirit’s strong business plan, exciting product roadmap and generous benefits package are an attractive proposition to potential employees.”

Vercel Brings New Agent Framework, Full-Stack Capabilities, and Enterprise Controls to Its Agentic Infrastructure Platform17.6.2026 13:13:00 EEST | Press release
Today at Ship, its annual conference, Vercel introduced a set of new products that deepen its agentic infrastructure platform trusted by DoorDash, Helly Hansen, OpenAI, Stripe, and The Weather Company. Founder and CEO Guillermo Rauch and other Vercel leaders unveiled the lineup on stage, anchored by three shifts the products address: agents are now the dominant way software gets deployed, every application is becoming agentic, and enterprises need to run agents in production securely and at scale. The transition is well underway. Six months ago, fewer than three percent of deployments to Vercel infrastructure were triggered by coding agents. Agents now account for more than half. Token volume through Vercel's AI Gateway has grown from roughly two trillion to twenty trillion per month over the same period. And over the past year, Vercel has invested heavily in Python and backend frameworks, with a growing share of customers now running backends and databases alongside their frontends. "
NIQ Introduces NIQ Cadence: A Compound AI Operating System for Marketing Effectiveness17.6.2026 13:00:00 EEST | Press release
NIQ (NYSE: NIQ), a global leader in consumer intelligence, today introduced NIQ Cadence, a compound AI operating system built to change how organizations measure marketing performance, optimize budgets, and act on what the data tells them. NIQ Cadence brings data and intelligence into one continuous environment, moving marketers off fragmented reports and onto a single system that empowers decision making.

NIQ Cadence closes that gap with one system where measurement and decision-making finally run together. “Marketing leaders don’t need more reports. They need a better rhythm,” said Jason Tate, General Manager of Marketing Effectiveness at NIQ. “NIQ Cadence moves organizations beyond disconnected data, siloed tools, and disparate insights

Winning With AI Requires Organizational Transformation, Not Speed of Adoption, Finds New Arthur D. Little Report17.6.2026 13:00:00 EEST | Press release
To successfully embrace the power of AI, businesses need to remove organizational complexity and eliminate unnecessary work, rather than simply using it for fragmented, incremental improvements. Boards must act now to deliver this. That is the key message from AI-First or Disrupted: Beating the Nightmare Competitor, a new report from Arthur D. Little (ADL) based on concrete examples from leading organizations. Within three to five years, AI-first competitors will make faster decisions, have flatter organizations, and operate at lower costs. They will not just optimize handovers between teams, approvals, and reconciliation work; they will eliminate these complex processes entirely. AI is completely changing the economics of work and value creation, removing the need for coordination across multiple teams, while also enabling adaptive, predictive, and personalized products and services. This delivers both lower operational costs and a fundamentally stronger value proposition. However, mo
