IDEA held a Major International Conference to coincide with the 2012 Assodel Gala in Milan on the 31st May 2012.
The conference – ‘Can improved collaboration in the supply network encourage growth in European Electronic Components markets?’ – provided an insight into the thinking of a range of industry leaders and commentators on how improving collaboration encourages growth.
The event was a great opportunity to meet up with suppliers and friends across the European and international electronic components industry and gain an improved insight into ‘what’s happening in the market’… It is the first time IDEA has staged such an event at a worldwide level with many important international participants.
Among the speakers, Paolo Guida, Head of Retail and SME Research of Intesa SanPaolo bank, analyzed the current economic and financial situation from a global and a local point of view stressing the difficulties that the Euro area is facing and the risks which are likely to occur if the situation does not change in the next few months. The representatives of the electronic distribution associations (members of IDEA) of China (Amy Wang), India (Rajoo Goel) and Russia Georg Steinberger, Chairman of DMASS (Distributors and Manufacturers Ass. of Semiconductor Specialist), and Malcolm Penn, CEO of Future Horizons, then presented the status of the worldwide and especially European electronics market giving trends and data on the current situation and forecasting what is likely to happen in the next few months. (Roman Kamaletdinov) finally gave their opinion about the future distribution market challenges in their countries. Commenting on the success of the event, Adam Fletcher, Chairman of IDEA, said: ‘I’m delighted that our first IDEA Executive Conference has generated such wide international support. It’s a great opportunity for any organisation interested in collaboration in the electronic components supply network to hear from and meet with a wide range of industry experts and practitioners’.
