Elektor's Opinion Page: Where Electronics Innovators Share Unfiltered Insights
on

ElektorMagazine.com now features a dedicated Opinion section — a space where engineers, executives, makers, academics, and students speak freely about the trends, challenges, and changes shaping the world of electronics. From geopolitics and AI to sustainability and standards, this is where real voices weigh in. Have a perspective worth sharing? Pitch us your opinion.
What We’re After
If you are like us, you’re tired of the same sanitized takes you see everywhere else. The electronics world is dealing with some serious issues right now — supply chain chaos, AI changing everything, new regulations popping up on a regular basis — and we want to hear what people who actually work in this space really think about it all.Honest debate helps to drive innovation. The electronics industry has plenty of smart people with real experience, and we want to hear their unfiltered thoughts. Not the corporate-approved version.
The page is already getting some solid submissions that don't just rehash the usual talking points. We're looking for pieces that actually challenge things, offer genuine insights, maybe even ruffle some feathers if that's what it takes to get important conversations started.
Your Opinion Matters
Here's what makes this different: we're opening it up to everyone in the electronics community, whether you're a long-time engineer, a researcher, running a startup, teaching, or still in school. If you've got something worth saying, we want to hear it. Articles can run anywhere from 500 to 1,500 words, and we pay an honorarium for the accepted ones.We're especially interested in hot topics such as:
- How geopolitics is affecting component sourcing
- Right to Repair vs. Right to Profit
- AI's impact on society, as well as on embedded systems, design, and programming
- The reality of sustainability regulations and e-waste rules
- The ongoing battle between open source and proprietary hardware
- Why electronics education isn't keeping up with industry needs
No corporate speak. No playing it safe. Just honest commentary from people who care about where this industry is headed.
If you get published, you'll reach thousands of engineers and decision-makers through Elektor's global platform.
