EBSCON 2022

...BECAUSE THE WORLD NEEDS EBS MORE THAN EVER

EBS?

Electronic based systems involve components and devices driven by micro-and nanoelectronics including embedded software. They are the foundation for digital products and services. EBS 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.

Electronic Based Systems have enormous hidden potential to reach sustainable development goals, yet it’s not a beaten path. The EBSCON, therefore, connects impact-driven people of the tech industry, research and science to work together on the best answers to the most relevant questions of today. Building bridges for tomorrow is not another slogan, it is necessary for our future society and sustainable living on our planet.

How can EBS technology support society?
What can electronics contribute to the fight against the climate crisis?
How can we make technology smart, connected, secure AND sustainable?
