Indium Corporation President and CEO Ross Berntson will deliver the Electronic Industries Association of India (ELCINA) CEO Forum keynote at Productronica India, to be held September 17-19 in Bengaluru, India.

Berntson’s keynote will focus on workforce training, innovation culture, and materials science as foundational elements for India’s electronics industry growth. Berntson’s keynote will also address materials and technology as critical differentiators, challenges to scaling

manufacturing, and emerging trends in AI, electric vehicles, renewables, and other sectors.

“It’s no longer enough to assemble products. Tomorrow’s leaders must own all aspects of design, materials, and manufacturing capabilities,” said Berntson. “India has been a critical assembly hub for years. The pivotal opportunity now is to move from assembly to end-to-end electronics manufacturing that is globally competitive.”
