One World, One Industry:
The Future of Electronics in the
Automotive Industry
Automotive elec-
tronics is not a new
topic. While there
is a trend for both
performance and
luxury electronics,
many of the recent
conversations tend to focus on self-driving/auton-
omous vehicles. While the technology is exciting,
it is just the tip of the iceberg.

Punching Out! Making the
Process Easy (M&A Process
Engineering)
In the M&A world, there are
companies that make it easy
(or at least easier) and those
that make it difficult. By mak-
ing the process easier, sell-
ers should see better valua-
tions and terms, and have a
smoother deal process.

Flex Talk:
Knowledge is Power
"What can I do to help drive
cost from my design?" This
is a question that I am asked
routinely. That question is
often followed by, "Can I get
these faster?" Both questions
are even more predominant
when talking about flexible
circuits or rigid-flex.

'Global Wisdom. Local Presence'
the Theme of HKPCA &
IPC Show 2017
The 2017 International Printed Circuit & APEX
South China Fair (2017 HKPCA & IPC Show) will
again be staged at the Shenzhen Convention &
Exhibition Center, China. This year's edition will
run from December 6–8, 2017. With the theme of
"Global Wisdom. Local Presence," it is hoped that
global collective intelligence can be drawn to the
show for assisting industry insiders to apply those
high-end technologies into local production and
enhance their business development.
