TFI is hand selecting 30 industry senior executives — 10 from OEMs, 10 from EMS/ODMs, and 10 from Suppliers — to meet at the San Jose Fairmont (California) as an “Executive Think Tank.” The executives will develop collaborative solutions to 5 electronics supply-chain challenges. It will be a frank discussion, facilitated by TFI, yielding roadmap elements for the industry.
