The decision to open a UK sales office follows closely on the news of its new-found independence resulting from the 10.6 million Euro venture capital investment in the company led by Sofinnova Partners, following STMicroelectronics decision to divest its shareholding in the company.
To date, Accent has built its business in the UK primarily with fabless and chipless companies. However, with its independence from STMicroelectronics and the opening of the sales office in the UK, the company fully expects to attract business from a broader range of electronic companies at the chipless IP, fabless semiconductor and system level, as well as IDMs. Additionally, with its ability to offer a complete turnkey electronic product design and realization service, they expect to attract business from non-electronics companies in the UK that need access to electronics expertise as part of their product innovation processes.
