The Forum Focus

Recessions don’t destroy growth, they only delay it, stoking the fires for tomorrow’s pent up demand, plus not all countries succumbed to recession in the 2008 global economic meltdown.

Opportunities abound for those firms strategically aligned with the market and technology developments, plus new technologies and methodologies will expand the industry horizons. The 2010 Forum will focus on three strategic issues:

  • New Business Models … Opportunities For Growth & Self-Destruction
  • Design & System Challenges … Targeting 16nm & Beyond
  • Expanding The Industry Horizon … New Innovations & Technology

May, 5th – 7th, 2010 – Dresden Germany
