About the iNEMI Roadmap
iNEMI has been developing industry roadmaps for more than 20 years. Published biennially, the roadmap is recognized as an important tool for defining the “state of the art” in the electronics industry as well as identifying emerging and disruptive technologies.
The 2017 Roadmap plans to feature seven Product Emulator Group (PEG) chapters, which define OEM requirements for their respective product sectors, anticipating product technology and business-related needs over a 10-year horizon. There are also plans for 21 Technology Working Group (TWG) chapters, which cover technology and business/infrastructure areas.
iNEMI membership is not required to participate in roadmap development and, in fact, the more diversified the representatives working on the roadmap, the broader the reach and the more valuable the end product. Each edition is a global collaborative effort that involves individuals who are leading experts in their respective fields and represent all perspectives on the electronics manufacturing supply chain.
About iNEMI
The International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative’s mission is to forecast and accelerate improvements in the electronics manufacturing industry for a sustainable future. This industry-led consortium is made up of approximately 90 manufacturers, suppliers, industry associations and consortia, government agencies and universities. iNEMI roadmaps the needs of the electronics industry, identifies gaps in the technology infrastructure, establishes implementation projects to eliminate these gaps (both business and technical), and stimulates standards activities to speed the introduction of new technologies. The consortium also works with government agencies, universities and other funding agencies to set priorities for future industry needs and R&D initiatives. iNEMI is based in Herndon, Virginia (near Washington, D.C.), with regional offices in Shanghai, China; Limerick, Ireland; and Tokyo, Japan.
