The past year of disruption has caused many of us to reconsider what is important, both privately and in our careers. Join us on November 4, 2021 for an Elektor webinar during which we’ll be speaking to industry leaders to learn how they operate sustainably, a topic that has grown in importance. We’ll also discuss how they give startups a helping hand, or how they received one, through the productronica Fast Forward Award. Finally, the chip crisis will also be reviewed, sharing the causes and what the outlook is for 2022. And, as always, we’ll be answering your questions during the show!

  • NCAB Group, sustainably delivering printed circuit boards at the lowest total cost through our competence, delivery accuracy, and product quality.
  • Almit, the future-oriented business of family Mendel, who deliver solder wires, solder pastes, and of course, lead-free solders.
  • AISLER, empowers agile electronics development by simplifying and speeding up electronics manufacturing services.
