Where the global electronics industry connects.

This week’s coverage points to an industry balancing ambition with discipline. On the business side, companies are weighing diversification and vertical integration as practical responses to supply chain pressure, geopolitical uncertainty, and changing customer expectations, while also recognizing the risks of stretching too far from core strengths. At the same time, several stories return to a familiar lesson: early design decisions matter. Whether in ELIC DFM or design for test, building in manufacturability and testability from the start remains essential to yield, reliability, and margin. Overlaying it all is a growing emphasis on collaboration, reflected in PCBAA’s expanding membership and the broader push to strengthen the domestic electronics ecosystem.
