Increasing product variety, short development cycles and volatile markets require automation systems that can be quickly adapted to changing products and processes. Conventional, statically designed systems often reach their limits in this situation. What is needed are modular concepts, digital automation architectures and agile development processes that make mechanics, software and testing technology flexibly scalable.

The presentation shows how companies can successfully implement automation with a wide range of variants. The main focus is on three factors: agile project planning, powerful software with recipe management and optimised set-up capabilities. Selected case studies will be used to demonstrate how adaptive mechanics, flexible software architecture and intelligent setup concepts interact to implement high-variety production. Together, these modules enable modern, adaptive manufacturing that makes variety manageable, increases efficiency and keeps companies competitive in the long term. 

In uncertain times, when cybersecurity plays a crucial role in protecting data, infrastructure and businesses, one question arises: can every security system be broken?

During his presentation, Piotr Konieczny will discuss real-life examples of cyberattacks and explain how cybercriminals bypass security systems and exploit unexpected vulnerabilities. The founder of Niebezpiecznik will also examine the most common mistakes made by companies, as well as effective methods of defending against cyber threats.

Piotr Konieczny’s presentation will provide valuable insights not only for engineers and managers, but for anyone looking to better protect their data and systems.

For more than 16 years, Piotr Konieczny has been one of Poland’s leading cybersecurity experts, sharing his knowledge with both individuals and companies. He has worked with some of the largest Polish and international enterprises, helping them strengthen network security and protect themselves against cyber threats. As the founder of Niebezpiecznik — Poland’s largest cybersecurity-focused platform — he has played a key role in raising awareness and educating the public about online security.

During the Q&A session, participants will have a unique opportunity to speak directly with the expert. Whether the questions concern emerging threats, cybersecurity best practices or trends shaping the industry, Piotr Konieczny will share his insights and answer participants’ questions.

In this presentation, Riku Hynninen will share his financial performance benchmarking of 10 leading European EMS companies. He will discuss how differences in depreciation, interest, and taxes impact net profitability, and evaluate which companies have the strongest capability for further M&A following recent industry consolidation. Finally, he will examine key industry benchmarks for capital efficiency, net working capital requirements, and return on equity. The presentation will define concrete benchmarks for profitability, M&A firepower and capital efficiency in EMS industry.

Across a number of Evertiq Expos this year, Claus Aasholm, founder of Semiconductor Business Intelligence, has shared insights into a semiconductor industry experiencing tremendous growth. Most of you have seen the headline figures – all suggesting an unprecedented expansion. So the question is, how is this extraordinary situation affecting the rankings among the semiconductor giants?

The presentation will take a look at the biggest among the greats – ranking the top 20  semiconductor companies, highlighting their record growth in 2026.
