    Next-Generation Contactors in Energy Storage and Electric Vehicle Charging Systems
    Jussi Räisänen - Technical Sales Manager - Kontram Oy

    Electric powertrains have rapidly become more common in vehicle applications, from electric scooters to heavy-duty mining machines. DC contactors are key components in controlling DC current from the charging station to the vehicle’s motor. This presentation will cover the applications of DC contactors and the specific requirements for each use case. Additionally, the advantages and disadvantages of a new open contactor design in vehicle applications will be discussed.

    The EU Digital Product Passport: Who, When, and How It Shapes Material Compliance
    Juhana Jaatinen - CEO - RoHS Management Oy

    The EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a cornerstone of the European Union’s sustainability initiatives under the Green Deal and Circular Economy Action Plan. This innovative framework aims to increase transparency and traceability across product lifecycles by digitally capturing critical information about materials, sustainability, and regulatory compliance.

    This presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of the DPP’s scope, identifying the industries and stakeholders it impacts—ranging from consumer electronics to automotive and industrial equipment—and outlining the expected implementation timelines. Special attention will be given to its intersection with prohibited substance regulations such as REACH and RoHS, highlighting the DPP’s role in ensuring material compliance and fostering circularity.
    As a service provider specializing in material compliance, we will discuss practical strategies for managing the challenges posed by the DPP, including the complexities of data collection, prohibited substance tracking, and adherence to EU sustainability standards.

    Finland’s Semiconductor Industry and the Chips from the North Strategy
    Joonas Mikkilä - Senior Advisor - Technology Industries of Finland

    Finland's semiconductor industry is poised for significant growth, leveraging its specialized expertise, robust R&D ecosystem, and innovative infrastructure. Home to over 90 companies across the value chain, Finland excels in niche areas such as chips design, advanced materials, process technologies, MEMS and sensors, photonics, and quantum technologies​.

    The Chips from the North strategy, released in 2024, sets ambitious targets to triple industry revenue to €5–6 billion by 2035, and create 15,000 new jobs. Finland’s strengths, including leading positions in mobile network expertise, position the country as a key contributor to Europe’s semiconductor resilience under the EU Chips Act.

    This presentation will showcase Finland’s growth opportunities, its role in the global value chain, and how the nation’s collaborative public-private approach fuels innovation and international partnerships. Discover how Finland’s forward-looking strategy supports sustainable, next-generation semiconductor solutions.

    Cyber resilience in embedded systems
    Willie Wiholm - Field Application Engineer - Tritech Solutions AB

    For many years cybersecurity was an area primarily affecting the enterprise computing market, and corporate PCs and datacenters were the main targets for malware attacks. This is no longer the case and in recent years there’s has been a massive increase of malicious attacks on embedded and IoT devices, while the cybersecurity domain was largely ignored by embedded device manufacturers. This is now changing, and EU’s new Cyber Resilience Act introduces mandatory cybersecurity requirements on all suppliers of products containing “a digital component”. This presentation takes a brief look into the impact of these new regulations on the technical requirements for embedded hardware and software as well as company processes.

    Highly reliable flex-rigid boards for harsh environmental conditions Made in Europe
    Werner Öchslen - Project Engineer - Würth Elektronik

    Rigid-flex printed circuit boards were originally developed for military and aerospace applications. Today this technology can be found in all industries and applications where miniaturization and reliability are important, not least due to the introduced standardizations of the technology and also the advances in plant and process technology.

    This presentation gives an overview of what is „reliablity“ and takes a depper look into the system analysis, design and material choice for FLEX.rigid applications in harsh environmental conditions.
