IPC COMMUNITY 23 FALL 2024 D ieter Weiss, Weiss Engineer- ing/in4ma, has worked in the electronics industry in Germany, the United States, and the Republic of Ireland for 46 years. After a successful entrepreneurial career, he decided to give something back to the industry and started market research of the European EMS indus- try under the brand in4ma. With the support of IPC, he has built a unique database of the European EMS industry, which today provides the most qualified benchmarking data available. With his data mining, he is working on statistical disciplines that analyze historical and current data and use algorithms to surface trends that could affect future develop- ments. It involves collecting data, formulating a statistical model, predicting, and validating that model using algorithms that involve market segments, company size, and a degree of vertical integration to better calculate revenue growth within the European EMS industry. Dieter received the IPC President's Award at IPC APEX EXPO 2024. His expertise is vital to the industry, and the authority and value of his research are critical for anyone looking to meaningfully benchmark their work. By Sanjay Huprikar, President, IPC Europe and South Asia "I worked day and night to create a databank of nearly all EMS companies in Europe..."
