Electronics Day

Annual forum on the relentless competitiveness

On the occasion of the Electronics Day organized by Wise Media, members of the Sustainable Electronics Manufacturing (SEM) Working Group gather each year at key industry appointments around the world to speak about the status and outlook of the global electronics industry, sustainable development and management of product lifecycles, as well as innovative solutions that ensure ongoing reliability of systems and components. The objective is to discuss where the industry stands today in the face of disruptive business models and technologies that revolutionize manufacturing.

Evaluating new avenues of sustainable growth for the electronics industry

The SEM Working Group is an industry-wide initiative, involving key international publications, events and associations to collaborate on and support a radical change in the paradigms of electronics manufacturing. Advocating for a new philosophy of sustainability, it invites the players of the electronics industry to embrace a smarter approach to its economic and technological challenges, for the sake of driving the market while preserving the planet. Among the media partners, events and industry organizations that contributed to the establishment of the initiative as supporters, are the publications, EE Times Europe, EMSNow!, Global Identification, OnBoard Technology, PLUS, PCB Magazine, Sustainable Development, the events, QUID, Productronica, SMT/Hybrid/Packaging, the Sustainability Summit, and the associations, EIPC and IMAPS.

The electronics industry in the context of Europe’s industrial value

Members of the SEM Working Group convened at the “Electronics Day” held at the last edition of SMT in Nuremberg, to discuss how to retain Europe’s industrial value and evaluate new avenues of sustainable growth for the electronics industry. The open debate on emerging business models and on the latest innovations in material science extended to the main drivers of change surrounding the fourth industrial revolution and new manufacturing approaches for increased miniaturization, reliability and performance.
