On January 29 to 30, 2025, the Pan-European Electronics Design Conference (PEDC) will convene leading experts from industry and research in Vienna. This newly launched event is dedicated to the entire development cycle of electronic systems. Würth Elektronik will contribute to the extensive program and host a panel on artificial intelligence.
“The experts agree that artificial intelligence will fundamentally change our lives,” explains Alexander Gerfer, CTO of the Würth Elektronik eiSos Group, a key supporter of the conference. “For Würth Elektronik, innovation, and therefore artificial intelligence, is by no means an end in itself, but a highly effective method of achieving our goal. Electronics for positive impact. Electronics should make our everyday lives easier, more pleasant, safer and more efficient. We need to use them to preserve our living space. And that is exactly what we want to discuss here at PEDC.”
The role of AI in electronics - panel with international experts
Alexander Gerfer, a member of the Technical Program Committee, will moderate the discussion “The Role of AI in Electronics” on January 29 at 2:15 PM. Following the discussion, an expert panel featuring renowned international participants will explore the topic further. These experts include the following:
- Prof. Dr. Thomas Ebel (University of Southern Denmark)
- Francis D’Souza (Banyan.eco, France)
- Savita Ganjigatti (Sienna ECAD Technologies, India)
- Dr. Reinhardt Seidel (DEEPTRONICS, Germany)
The PEDC is jointly organized by the FED and IPC associations, which together represent more than 3700 companies from the electronics industry. The conference aims to bridge the gap between industry and research in order to promote the exchange of information on the latest developments in electronics design.
The event will focus on forward-looking topics such as artificial intelligence, sustainability, advanced packaging, and digital twin technology. With a diverse program, PEDC offers participants a platform to discuss innovative approaches and actively shape the electronics industry.
