Expo-ZRH26-claus-speaking

April 30, 2026
During Evertiq Expo Zurich on April 23, 2026, Claus Aasholm, founder of Semiconductor Business Intelligence, offered a pointed assessment of a semiconductor industry growing rapidly — but not evenly. In his keynote and a follow-up conversation, Aasholm argued that while headline figures suggest unprecedented expansion, underlying dynamics point to structural imbalances across the supply chain.

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.
