The focus of this year’s cooperation forum is the integration of the printed circuit board in Smart Systems.

The optimization and functional enhancements of Smart Systems in various sectors are addressed by new developments in printed circuit board technology.

Key topics for technological trends and challenges include:

• Flex and stretch circuit boards
• Trends in printed circuit board laminate
• Embedding technologies in hermetic substrates
• Digitizing the PCB with soldermask via 3D printing

Address practical application examples:

• High speed applications in the automotive, telecommunications and industrial sectors
• Printed circuit board technologies for automotive smart sensor systems
• PCB-based sensors for IoT

With over 200 participants regularly, the cooperation forum has established itself as a fixture in the German electronics industry.
