...BECAUSE THE WORLD NEEDS ESBS MORE THAN EVER

What does ESBS mean?

Electronic and software based systems involve components and devices driven by micro-and nanoelectronics including embedded software. They are the foundation for digital products and services. ESBS functions enable the implementation of applications such as automated driving, the Internet of Things and smart cities and thus constitute the heart of our digitalized society.

Not only do ESBS have vast untapped potential for sustainable development, but they’re also the frontier for impactful tech solutions. That’s where EBSCON comes in, uniting the tech industry’s forward-thinkers with the research and scientific community. Together, we address today’s pressing questions, forging paths for a sustainable future.“Building bridges for tomorrow”is not just a slogan—it’s our mission, and crucialfor our planet’s well-being.
