During the event, Farnell will present new technologies from its suppliers and host interviews with industry specialists, as well as offer interactive experiences for visitors. The event also coincides with the tenth anniversary of Farnell joining the Avnet group.
Innovation Spotlight will address trends in electronic engineering.
One of the main attractions at Farnell will be Innovation Spotlight, a series of interviews with technology leaders dedicated to analyzing the challenges and opportunities facing the engineering sector. The sessions will cover areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), electrification, infrastructure, automation, and smart systems. The goal is to offer different perspectives on the technologies that are influencing the development of new electronic products and the evolution of the supply chain.
The interviews will also allow us to explore the trends that influence the work of engineering professionals and companies in the sector.
