Hi, I’m Carson Bradbury — an innovation strategist and connector, with a passion for turning big technology ideas into tangible impact.
I work at the intersection of semiconductors, digital twins, and collaborative venturing, helping academics, startups, corporates, investors, and policymakers work together to build first-of-a-kind sovereign capabilities.
Through my role in shaping the EU Chips Act innovation ecosystem, I’ve seen first-hand how partnerships can shorten the path from ideation to value — and I’m here to share those insights with you.
This blog is my independent space to:
- Spotlight opportunities the EU Chips Act and global semiconductor strategies create for innovators.
- Demystify complex tech like multi-physics digital twins, chip design enablement, and sovereignty-driven supply chains.
- Share stories and playbooks for collaborative campaigns that accelerate innovation.
Whether you’re an academic with an idea, a startup looking for funding, a corporate scouting innovation, or a policymaker shaping the future, I hope you’ll find something here that sparks your next move.
