15 Ausg.Nr._21/2019 Innovation Award The largest microelectronics event in Europe As a result of the close coopera- tion between SEMICON Europa and productronica, after the successful premiere in 2017, visitors to the trade fair this year can again expect to see every- thing that the industry has to offer now and in the future. In addition to semiconductor pro- duction, this includes the manu- facture of displays, LEDs, and discrete components, as well as photovoltaics, micronano, mate- rial processing, and clean room technology. Industry represent- atives will also benefit from an extensive supporting program with high-quality conferences. In other words, from November 12 to 15, productronica 2019 is the ideal place to discuss the latest trends and technologies. Just one ticket is required to visit both fairs, productronica and SEMICON Europa.  Text & Image: Messe München GmbH Messegelände D-81823 München www.productronica.com Wanted: Solutions for the Future productronica Innovation Award enters round three F or the third time, the world’s leading trade fair for electronics development and production will be awarding prizes for innovative products.

On the one hand, the award empowered and motivated our employees even more and honored their outstanding com- mitment, and, on the other hand, we use the prize to acquire cus- tomers.” Galit Beck, Marketing and PR Ma- nager at Nano Dimension, based in Israel, says that receiving the award two years ago has encou- raged the company to take part again in 2019. “We’re proud of the Innovation Award and are consi- dering taking part again with our many new applications.” From all the submitted innova- tions, the jury will choose a win- ner in each of the six categories. The independent jurors include: • Klaus-Dieter Lang, Fraunhofer IZM • Daniel Müller, VDMA • Mathias Nowottnick, University of Rostock • Lothar Pfitzner, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg • Christoph Stoppok, ZVEI • Heinz Wohlrabe, Dresden University of Technology Developments and innovations must be received by Monday, Sep- tember 9, 2019.
