LONDON (Reuters) - Silicon Catalyst, an incubator of startup companies, has chosen Britain as the site of its first European operation, saying it hoped to capitalise on the UK's record of innovation.

SiliconCatalyst.UK will help semiconductor hardware start-ups accelerate ideas through prototype and production stages by providing advice, support, and access to strategic partners and investors, the company said, replicating a model it has deployed in Silicon Valley since 2015.
