Today, on October 15th, the international electronics industry seminar \u201cEMS and Beyond 2024\u201d takes place, focusing on opportunities and challenges within the electronics industry, including supply chain conditions and new regulations. The seminar brings together electronics sector experts and companies from across Europe in Tallinn to discuss industry developments and share best practices.<\/b><\/p>\n

The seminar\u2019s main organizer, <\/span>Arno Kolk<\/b>, Managing Director of the Estonian Electronics Industries Association, emphasizes that the topics addressed at the seminar are crucial for the future of the industry: \u201cIn recent years, the electronics industry has had to contend with a components crisis and a challenging economic environment. The situation is now stabilizing, but new challenges, such as the CRA regulation and increasing ESG requirements, demand adaptability and innovation from the sector.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Kolk adds: \u201cEstonia\u2019s electronics industry is closely tied to international markets, particularly in Northern Europe and Germany, where the economic situation is currently challenging. Some projects initially planned for launch have been postponed until next year. Nevertheless, we see positive signs in areas such as automation and the defense industry, which support growth in electronics production volumes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Kolk, workforce challenges have somewhat receded for the time being, yet the electronics industry remains a promising career choice. \u201cEven if companies\u2019 revenues have declined, efforts are made to retain specialists as long as possible, with few layoffs in the sector,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now in its seventh year, the seminar focuses on opportunities and challenges within the electronics industry. Topics of discussion include the components crisis, the new CRA regulation, and investment banks\u2019 and investors\u2019 perspectives on the electronics sector. Speakers include analysts, industry associations, entrepreneurs, and bankers. This year, the seminar hosts over 180 participants from 18 countries, with attendees from the Baltic and Nordic regions, as well as from Spain, Italy, and India.<\/span><\/p>\n

Analytics expert <\/span>Dieter G. Weiss <\/b>(In4ma) will focus on the components crisis in his presentation, while <\/span>Jenirathese Nadar<\/b>, Regional Marketing Manager at NXP Semiconductors, will discuss the new EU Cyber Resilience Act. <\/span>Alexis Montoya<\/b> from Microchip Technology Inc. will address the semiconductor crisis from a supplier\u2019s perspective, and <\/span>Simon Majer<\/b>, Vice President at investment bank Raymond James, will present investment banks\u2019 perspectives on electronics manufacturing.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the afternoon, <\/span>Arno Kolk<\/b>, Managing Director of the Estonian Electronics Industries Association, will discuss the current state of Estonia\u2019s electronics industry. <\/span>Alison James<\/b>, Senior Director of Government Relations at IPC, and <\/span>Kaspar Peek<\/b>, Head of Industry at the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications of Estonia, will speak on the need to support the entire electronics manufacturing value chain, from chips to systems. <\/span>Helena Maripuu<\/b>, Group Communication and IR Lead at Incap, will provide an overview of the role of ESG sustainability reporting in the growth of the electronics manufacturing services sector. <\/span>Francisco Fourcade<\/b>, Electronics Technology Standards Manager in Europe, will cover the path to achieving excellence in electronics manufacturing. The day will conclude with a panel of industry leaders, including representatives from In4ma, Incap, Avnet Silica, and Texas Instruments, who will discuss the latest components crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n
