What APEX EXPO Award Recipients See for the Future of Electronics Manufacturing
03/27/2026 | Michelle Te, I-Connect007The single most transformative shift in the electronics manufacturing industry over the next decade will be the convergence of AI-driven design with advanced packaging architectures, according to some of the APEX EXPO 2026 award recipients, but success will rely on how well the industry bridges the talent gap. Recent award recipients express optimism over technological breakthroughs, from chiplet platforms and copper-to-copper hybrid bonding, to fighting the increasing incidence of conductive anodic filamentation (CAF) in flight hardware. Others see a workforce that can’t accelerate as quickly as the technology.

Balanced Approach Needed to Regulate PFAS in Electronics
03/25/2026 | Diana Radovan, Global Electronics AssociationThe very broad per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) group has widespread use in both consumer and highly specialized applications, including, perhaps surprisingly, green technologies. Among these, the fluoropolymers subgroup plays a complex and critical role in electronics. To date, there are hardly any technically comparable alternatives. The electronics industry is facing a major regulatory and business challenge as inconsistent policies on potential PFAS restrictions in electronics are emerging across regions worldwide, and, in the U.S., in different states.
