August 26, 2026
The semiconductor market is moving fast – but the headlines and numbers only tell part of the story. Prices are increasing, lead times are stretching, and geopolitics is reshaping how companies think about sourcing. What's harder to see from the outside is how all of this is playing out in practice: in customer behaviour, in order flows, in the conversations that happen daily between distributors, manufacturers and buyers.

DRAM and NAND Flash combined will account for 47% of major cloud service providers' total capital expenditure in 2026, rising to 68% in 2027, according to TrendForce. The shift reflects both soaring memory contract prices and surging procurement demand for AI infrastructure.

August 26, 2026
Finnish smart ring maker Oura is facing a proposed class action lawsuit filed in a US federal court on August 20 by California law firm Clarkson Law Firm. The lawsuit alleges that the company's marketing claims about its sleep tracking capabilities are false and misleading.

Longum-facility

August 25, 2026
Kitron has officially opened its new production facility at Longum outside Arendal in Norway, adding approximately 7,500 square metres of manufacturing space. Together with the existing Kilsund site nearby, the two facilities employ approximately 550 people.

TTM Technologies has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Epiq Design Solutions, a provider of software-defined radios, high-performance RF products and space compute solutions for defence and signals intelligence applications. The all-cash purchase price is USD 1.1 billion.

Program-Evertiq-Expo-1

August 11, 2026
Earlier this year, several discussions at Evertiq Expo pointed to the same conclusion: while the semiconductor industry continues to grow, that growth is far from evenly distributed. AI, memory and data centres have driven record revenues, while other parts of the electronics industry continue to face a very different reality.

MMO2024-Ronny-Nietzsche

August 04, 2026
The electronics industry has spent years learning to fear shortages, counterfeit components and end-of-life notices. But according to Ronny Nietzsche, Regional Sales Manager Nordic-Baltic Region at Rochester Electronics, another issue may be quietly shaping purchasing decisions — an outdated understanding of semiconductor date codes.

Didrik-PCB

July 30, 2026
As material shortages push lead times for advanced printed circuit boards towards 2028, four-year-old PCB supplier Confidee has built its strategy around the opposite of locking customers into rigid commitments: complete transparency and a clear policy allowing customers to cancel or rebalance production without damaging the relationship. That is according to board member Didrik Bech.

The unprecedented wave of investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure is transforming the global electronics supply chain, with growing consequences for PCB manufacturers, material suppliers and OEMs worldwide. According to new research from in4ma and EMSNOW, demand generated by hyperscale data centre operators is driving up PCB prices, stretching lead times and redirecting manufacturing capacity towards AI applications.

Why PCB procurement strategies should be reviewed?

Didrik-PCB

July 28, 2026
In an interview with Evertiq, Didrik Bech, board member of PCB supplier Confidee, described how the AI infrastructure boom is creating an unprecedented demand for materials, resulting in supply shortages that could reshape market conditions across several European industries.

Pascal-Lefarth-2

July 28, 2026
For Europe's electronics manufacturers, sustainability has become far more than a long-term ambition. Customer questionnaires, ESG platforms and an expanding regulatory framework are rapidly becoming part of everyday business, requiring companies not only to improve their environmental performance but also to demonstrate it through an increasing number of reporting frameworks.

AiRob-Piotr-Owczarek-Krakow-2026

July 21, 2026
Traditional automation performs best in a highly organised environment. Products must always arrive in the same position, production lines need to maintain a fixed rhythm, and individual tasks should remain predictable and repetitive. However, the European electronics industry is increasingly operating under completely different conditions. Short production runs, frequent product changes, component shortages and unpredictable order schedules can make a factory resemble a living organism rather than a precisely calibrated machine. Speaking at Evertiq Expo Kraków 2026, Piotr Owczarek, CEO of AiRob, argued that machine vision, 3D modelling and artificial intelligence could make robots better suited to this complex environment.

Best-Supply-Jacek-Malecki-Krakow-2026

July 20, 2026
Artificial intelligence, geopolitical tensions, rising raw material prices, and increasingly longer delivery times create a combination of factors that could make life much more difficult for electronics manufacturers.

Bexit-line-between-uk-eu

July 15, 2026
A decade after the UK voted to leave the European Union, the EMS and CEM sector is still adapting to the consequences. Brexit realised many fears around supply-chain disruption, labour shortages and regulation, but it also accelerated structural change and pushed companies to modernise operations.

expo-Berlin-2026-032

July 10, 2026
During Evertiq Expo Berlin, in4ma's Dieter Weiss and Maraike Haas, alongside EMSNOW's Eric Miscoll, had just presented five years of data showing Asia lapping Europe in EMS growth. Off stage, they went further.

Nikolaos-Florou-presentation-Berlin

July 09, 2026
Two months ago, at Evertiq Expo Zürich, Nikolaos Florous left little room for optimism. Tight memory market conditions would persist, he said — and things would likely get worse before they got better.

expo-Berlin-2026-020

July 08, 2026
New data from in4ma and EMSNOW puts the global EMS and ODM industry at USD 820 billion for 2025 – and Europe's share of that figure is shrinking in relative terms even as the continent's largest players post revenue growth.

Hiroshima-building

July 07, 2026
Micron Technology has broken ground on a new cleanroom at its manufacturing facility in Higashi-Hiroshima, Japan. The first phase covers approximately 300,000 square feet and is intended to strengthen Micron's advanced memory manufacturing capacity to meet growing AI demand. Equipment move-in is scheduled for the second half of 2028.

July 07, 2026
Swedish MEMS foundry Silex Microsystems has entered into a binding agreement to acquire a 200mm semiconductor fab in Mountain Top, Pennsylvania, in the United States, from Onsemi. The purchase price is USD 40 million.

Riku-Hynninen

July 07, 2026
The companies announced as many as 13 acquisitions last year, of which 12 have been realised. Many companies are still indicating to have further acquisitions on the agenda. It will be interesting to look at the remaining M&A firepower in their balance sheets to estimate what to expect.

PCB-EU-Haas

July 06, 2026
Some conference presentations end with the applause. Others begin there. They continue over coffee, in conversations between exhibition stands, and in the photographs people take before the final slide disappears from the screen. That was certainly the case during Evertiq Expo Berlin, where one presentation continued to resonate long after the audience had left the conference hall.

Ground combat vehicles are rapidly evolving from fixed-function platforms into modular, software-defined systems. This shift demands interconnect solutions that support continuous upgrades without requiring redesigns of wiring infrastructure. Scalable, high-reliability connectors, particularly those based on MIL-DTL-38999, are central to enabling this transformation.

DACPOL-Dominik-Kowalczyk-Krakow-2026

June 25, 2026
The effectiveness of modern defence systems is no longer defined solely by the number of tanks, aircraft, missile launchers, or soldiers. Increasingly, real military capability depends on the reliability of the electronics responsible for maintaining communications, surveillance, data processing, and weapons control.

expo-Berlin-2026-05

June 25, 2026
Siemensstadt was a deliberate choice for the move of Evertiq Expo Berlin. The district was once a city within a city – an entire industrial ecosystem built around a single company, now being reimagined for the next generation of technology. It felt like the right place for a day spent discussing what European electronics manufacturing is, and what it needs to become.

Munich-facility

June 24, 2026
The European Commission has approved EUR 76 million in German state aid for QuantumDiamonds GmbH to establish a semiconductor testing equipment facility in Munich, Germany. The facility will be the first in the EU to produce semiconductor metrology and inspection systems based on quantum sensing.
