Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.
Looking Forward to APEX EXPO 2026
I-Connect007 Magazine previews APEX EXPO 2026, covering everything from the show floor to the technical conference. For PCB designers, we move past the dreaded auto-router and spotlight AI design tools that actually matter.

GPV Takes Part in DDAC 2026 to Support Defence and Security Collaboration
January 30, 2026 | GPVEstimated reading time: 1 minute
GPV is pleased to take part in this year’s Danish Defence Annual Conference 2026 (DDAC 2026) on 5-6 February, hosted by DI Forsvar og sikkerhed, where GPV is also a member.
DDAC brings together representatives from industry, government, armed forces, and academia to exchange knowledge and strengthen cooperation across the defence and security sector. It is an important opportunity to discuss shared challenges and how we — together — can support future defence efforts.
Over the years, GPV has contributed to several defence-related projects and therefore has vast experience manufacturing and supplying critical components, sub-systems and systems for defence applications. Our NATO-approved production sites and certifications including ATEX 2014/34/EU, AQAP 2110, IECEx, ISO 27001, and AS9100 (planned for 2026) – support our work in delivering reliable, high-quality solutions.
“GPV has a long history and has participated in several defence projects. In the past, our focus shifted toward selected industries. Nevertheless, today, GPV is in a very different place, and the world has changed with an increased need for reliable, competent, and secure defence capabilities. Therefore, we believe GPV can be a relevant partner for defence companies, and GPV is once again fully entering the defence area. Participating in DDAC 2026 underlines our commitment to being a responsible and trusted partner to the defence industry,” says Bo Lybaek, CEO at GPV.
We believe that GPV can be a relevant and valuable partner for defence companies, and we strive to offer a setup that delivers the best possible service to the customers we work with and in the projects, we participate in.
Testimonial
"We’re proud to call I-Connect007 a trusted partner. Their innovative approach and industry insight made our podcast collaboration a success by connecting us with the right audience and delivering real results."
