Stream 1. Electronics in Action:
Agtech: Agriculture is being transformed by the availability of low cost applications driving both precision farming and innovative practice. Electronics is the enabling technology in this development.
Space: This is the era of privatised space where space-based solutions are available to SME’s. This stream will offer an opportunity to hear from some successful pioneers and to explore the opportunities.
Sensors and loT: Sensor technology underpins loT products. This stream will address new and emerging sensor technologies and what’s happening for older technologies. Competing low power communication technologies and trends in power sources will also be explored.
New Frontiers in Innovation: As part of this stream we plan to seek out the latest innovative technologies in our South Australian and Australian community to showcase our wonderful city’s capacity and capability and what is happening in Australia. A series of local industry visits will be scheduled for the pre-conference days.

Stream 3. Our Technology – The base our industry depends on for growth and innovation:
PCB Technology – Industries like the LED lighting industry and smartphone industry have created new PCB technologies – but green fibreglass plates live on. How will new technologies affect the design process? Regulatory Compliance. New aspects of compliance appear as fast as new technologies emerge, e.g. transport restrictions on Lithium Cells. What are the emerging issues and solutions?
Stream 4. The future – Climate Change, Waste and The Circular Economy:
How will our Industry face the challenges of climate change, the enormous build-up of E- Waste world-wide, the burgeoning demand for rare elements our industry depends on.
