Europe at a turning point for PCB base materials

April 08, 2026
As performance requirements for printed circuit boards continue to rise — driven by high-speed digital as well as RF and microwave applications — the development and selection of base materials is becoming a balancing act between electrical performance, regulatory compliance and supply chain resilience. What used to be a largely engineering-driven decision is now increasingly influenced by external constraints that are harder to control and even harder to predict.

"Artificial intelligence will support us, not replace us"

March 10, 2026
High-mix, low-volume production has long been one of the most complex operational environments in the EMS industry. Short production runs, high product variability, frequent changeovers and constant time pressure mean that factories operate in a state of near-constant adaptation. At the same time, customer expectations for quality and flexibility continue to rise, while the availability of skilled labour remains limited. In such conditions, manufacturing ceases to be a collection of independent processes — it becomes a system in which every change carries wider operational consequences.

Strengthen PCB procurement in Europe – risks of Asian dependency

February 27, 2026
Unilateral dependence on Asia for PCBs is a strategic risk. For six years, global geopolitics has been showing us more and more clearly that supply chains are fragile. The pandemic caused massive disruptions, semiconductor shortages led to allocations, the war in Ukraine exacerbated raw material uncertainties, and protectionist measures by the US and the deliberate isolation of Asian markets have made free global trade an illusion.

Finland’s R&D model and its role in the electronics industry

February 03, 2026
In a recent analysis, Evertiq explored which countries dominate global R&D spending. Viewed through the lens of absolute investment volumes, the picture is largely shaped by the United States and China, followed by established industrial powerhouses such as Germany, Japan and France. Shifting that lens away from global heavyweights and toward a smaller, highly R&D-intensive economy reveals a different dynamic — one where the relationship between research investment and industrial capability becomes more clearly defined. Finland provides a useful case for understanding how research investment translates into industrial capability.
