Great Electronics Day 2025

The understanding of, and the need for, electronic systems is increasing in step with the global transition to a sustainable society. More and more solutions around the world are directly dependent on electronics, while the geopolitical situation has created challenges for the industry. Swedish research and Swedish companies have a significant role here and it is important that Swedish industry continues to be competitive in its areas of electronics. 

We are now inviting you to a day to highlight and create opportunities for this important area. The day will feature interesting speakers, valuable knowledge and insights from companies and experts.
