EIPC to Hold Technical Snapshot Webinar
July 7, 2021 | EIPCEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Events over the past 18 months have necessitated a change in the way we think. No longer can we go about our daily business in the manner we had become accustomed to. Things we took for granted had gone; things we had never even imagined now needed to be considered carefully. The need for mental agility and inventiveness has never been stronger.
The European Institute for the PCB Community (EIPC) is no different from anyone else who wished to communicate—at a distance. What we had perhaps not appreciated was the enthusiasm with which this new approach was embraced, and this has led to a succession of very popular webinars. On July 14, EIPC will be holding its 10th webinar.
There will be two sessions: in the first, Dr. Shiuh-Kao Chiang of Prismark will provide an update on the PCB market and the outlook for the future. Meanwhile, along the lines of thinking differently, Jani Rusi will provide some tips for networking in a post-COVID world. The What, the How, and the Why.
Rusi represents 204.5cm of expertise from Turku in Finland. He is the COO of World Trade Centre Turku, a serial entrepreneur, and a strongly networked professional focusing on business matchmaking—a “business pimp” as he was named after one event. A retired professional swimmer, a start-up-guy with two unsuccessful exits and several coaching cases, Rusi is an inspiring speaker with lots of experience where he finds the best stories and examples to share with the audience. After the two sessions, there will be a Q&A panel at 16:00 hrs.

The Pulse: Drilling Down on Documentation
04/18/2024 | Martyn Gaudion -- Column: The PulseHow did a product aimed at signal integrity end up being more about documentation? For a little backstory, the Polar team has an unspoken “no business speak” rule at certain times. So, why is this column titled “Drilling Down?” I find it fascinating when a company sets off in one direction, but customers steer it in another. That’s what has happened here as customers took a product down a fork in the road we couldn’t predict. Your destination isn’t always where you initially set off to go, and that’s how we got to our subject of drills and drill documentation.

Marcy's Musings: The Growing Industry
04/16/2024 | Marcy LaRont -- Column: Marcy's MusingsAfter decades of steady decline in the U.S. and Europe, the PCB industry is finally growing, especially in China Plus One countries. The U.S. for example, which seemed to have abdicated its title as the world leader in innovating high-technology cutting-edge manufacturing processes, is now in a race to regain what it lost and then some. The PCB fabrication industry is growing in the West, thanks to DoD funding, the CHIPS and Science Act, and hopefully, the passing of HR 3249, the Printed Circuit Board and Substrates Act.
PCB007 Magazine April 2024 — The Growing Industry Issue
04/15/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamAfter more than two decades of steady decline in the U.S., the PCB industry is finally growing in the West thanks to the CHIPS and Science Act, DoD funding, and hopefully, the passing of HR 3249, the Printed Circuit Board and Substrates Act. The U.S. is now in a race to regain what was lost and then some. But what does “growing” look like for the organizations that have received DoD funding, and for the rest of us? How can we sustain this growth?
