The year 2020 has been volatile and challenging for the electronics industry. COVID-19, economic uncertainty, and global trade tensions have created countless obstacles for electrical engineers and the companies that employ them. In the August 13, 2020 webinar, “Embedded Innovation in 2020 and Beyond,” Elektor engineers Clemens Valens and Stuart Cording will talk with Eben Upton (Founder, Raspberry Pi) and Ryan Cousins (CEO, krtkl) about the current state of the electronics industry and where innovation might lead us in the coming months.
Eben Upton (Raspberry Pi), Ryan Cousins (krtkl), Clemens Valens (Elektor), and Stuart Cording (Elektor)
Upton will speak about Raspberry Pi’s strategy for navigating the COVID-19 crisis, Raspberry Pi for industry, and new innovations emerging from the RPi community. Cousins will share his insights about the hardware scene in Silicon Valley, and he will talk about the future of reconfigurable hardware solutions. Throughout the live webinar, attendees can submit questions and comments for the panellists. Also, at the end of the webinar, we will be giving away 4 Raspberry Pi 4 B (8GB) and 2 Snickerdoodles.
