The Mainland China team will actively participate in several core conference activities and meetings, including keynote sessions, the Advanced Electronic Packaging Conference, sustainability-focused professional courses, as well as themed areas and projects such as the Design Village and Technology Pavilion.
In terms of content, the team will focus this year on three key areas: advanced electronic packaging, the Factory of the Future, and sustainability. Through participation in technical meetings and standards discussions, the team aims to gain deeper insight into the latest global trends in automation, digitalization, and green transformation in electronics manufacturing, and to explore how these trends can be translated into practical, implementable manufacturing solutions.
In addition, the Mainland China team plans to visit exhibiting companies to better understand their overseas market strategies and technology development needs, with particular attention to pain points and priorities related to reliability, quality consistency, digital connectivity, and sustainability. Based on on-site solution showcases, the team will identify entry points where standards interpretation, training and certification, and technical support can facilitate implementation. After the event, a focused follow-up list of key companies and service recommendations will be developed to continue engagement and advance collaboration opportunities.
