• Hands-on technical presentation featuring case studies in silicon-to-systems/package–PCB–co-design, showcasing advanced design integration strategies.

   

Networking and knowledge exchange at the highest level

In addition to a top-tier program of presentations, the PEDC is an ideal platform for networking. The event attracts executives, engineers, researchers, and young talent from across Europe. Participants can engage with like-minded professionals, establish new contacts, and meet potential business partners or future colleagues.

For Dieter Müller, Chairman of the FED Board, the importance of the Pan-European Design Conference (PEDC) for fostering collaboration in the industry was clear: “Following the highly successful inaugural Pan-European Design Conference, we proudly invite designers, engineers, researchers, and leaders back for the second annual PEDC to exchange essential insights, forge new connections, and collectively shape the future of European electronics.”
