I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
November 11, 2022 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
The industry news cycle seems to be picking up speed lately. Of course, 30 days into the quarter is about when public companies announce their results, and in the midst of this worldwide financial situation, we’ve got all eyes on anything coming out from our counterparts in the industry. I’ve noticed that global corporate results (Nan Ya PCB and TTM, in particular) do seem to be on everyone’s radar. In addition to financial news, trade shows are popping back up around the world—Europe, India, and a special report from editor Andy Shaughnessy, who took his own road trip to Raleigh, reporting on PCB Carolina, which had its own heyday this year.
I’ll be in Munich next week, reporting from electronica, meeting with many of our European friends; if you’re in Munich, say hello on the show floor. It promises to be an interesting event and I’m looking forward to covering the European market. Guten tag!
