Indium Corporation President and CEO Ross Berntson will deliver the Electronic Industries Association of India (ELCINA) CEO Forum keynote at Productronica India, to be held September 17-19 in Bengaluru, India.
Berntson’s keynote will focus on workforce training, innovation culture, and materials science as foundational elements for India’s electronics industry growth. Berntson’s keynote will also address materials and technology as critical differentiators, challenges to scaling manufacturing, and emerging trends in AI, electric vehicles, renewables, and other sectors.
“It’s no longer enough to assemble products. Tomorrow’s leaders must own all aspects of design, materials, and manufacturing capabilities,” said Berntson. “India has been a critical assembly hub for years. The pivotal opportunity now is to move from assembly to end-to-end electronics manufacturing that is globally competitive.”
This year’s ELCINA CEO Forum theme is Targeting a US $500 Billion Electronics Industry by 2030 – Gearing Up from Assembly to Manufacturing. Forum registration is available online.
Indium Corporation Associate Director for Global Technical Services and Application Engineering Jonas Sjoberg will also join a panel discussion on September 18 at 12:30 p.m. The panel, titled Global Synergies in PCB Design, Supply Chain & Innovation, is part of the India PCB Tech Conference.
