As we enter the final quarter of 2024, IPC is proud to reflect on a year of significant progress and strategic advancement in our government grants and funding initiatives. Since the program’s launch in July 2023, we’ve explored major funding opportunities, forged key partnerships across the electronics sector, and laid a strong foundation for long-term success. Our efforts this past year are setting the stage for impactful results and future growth.
On October 3, I gave a talk on the pressing need to establish, refine, and redefine sustainability policy priorities and advocacy activities in close dialogue with the electronics industry in order for this industry to remain competitive in Europe. This was the key take-away of my presentation at the IPC Day Italy event held at the Convention Center of the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, in partnership with Phoenix Contact and GESTLabs.
IPC's recent white paper, "Securing the European Union's Electronics Ecosystem," highlights the importance of strengthening Europe’s electronics supply chain across all levels, from silicon to systems.
On September 25, Anthesis Group, EarthShift Global, and IPC co-hosted a discussion with systems engineers and life cycle assessors on data challenges for circularizing electronics. We met at the annual American Center for Life Cycle Assessment (ACLCA) conference. The 90-minute session “There’s No End to a Circle…” covered several perspectives on electronics circularity challenges that stem from the lack of reliable, current, and secure industry data.
IPC extends its congratulations to TTM Technologies on securing $30M from the DoD's Manufacturing Capability Expansion and Investment Prioritization (MCEIP) office to equip a new 200,000+ square foot facility in Syracuse, New York. The new facility will dramatically increase domestic production of ultra-high density (uHDI) printed circuit boards (PCBs).
What does “advanced packaging” mean in the context of semiconductors and electronics manufacturing? And why is it so important to the future of the world? Those are the questions answered in simple language and imagery in a new 90-second video released by IPC.
In this webinar, we will dive into the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and Digital Product Passports (DPPs), providing a clear explanation of what they are and how they work.
Industry sentiment in the electronics sector declined significantly in September due to rising cost concerns and weakening demand according to IPC’s September Sentiment of the Global Electronics Manufacturing Supply Chain Report.
The latest EU Competitiveness Report, authored by former European Central Bank President Mario Draghi and released this month, is a compelling call to action that should serve as a framework for policy action in Brussels and capitals across Europe.
On a news-filled day at the Department of Commerce, IPC CEO John W. Mitchell hosted the agency’s chief export enforcement officer to speak candidly with members.
