With many smart Covid-19-related safety measures in place, technical exhibitions are opening up again. This November, the world’s leading trade fair for electronics development, productronica 2021, will welcome guests to Munich, Germany. With it, the productronica Fast Forward platform, powered by Elektor, searches for the most significant innovations from the start-up community. Join us on November 4, 2021, for an Elektor webinar during which we talk to the Fast Forward sponsors to find out why they are sponsoring this initiative and how they support start-ups.

During the webinar, we’ll be speaking about start-ups with representatives from the following companies:
 
  • Platinum Sponsor – NCAB Group, sustainably delivering printed circuit boards at the lowest total cost through our competence, delivery accuracy, and product quality.

As well as learning more about their companies and their start-up initiatives, we will talk about the global chip crisis, we will discuss the impact the coronavirus has had on the sponsors, and we will review some of the upcoming highlights at productronica.
