In mid-June 2024, Fraunhofer IZM hosted the seventh Electronics Goes Green conference, one of the largest international conferences on sustainability in electronics. Over 360 participants from the fields of science, industry, and politics gathered in Berlin to discuss innovative technologies, sustainable processes, and political measures aimed at reducing the environmental impact of electronic devices. During the keynote speeches, Todd Brady (Intel) discussed the challenges and potential of more sustainable semiconductor production. Meanwhile Mads Kogsgaard Hansen (Bang & Olufsen) presented circular approaches that promote sustainable innovation in consumer electronics. The diverse conference program included over 160 technical presentations by 151 speakers. The event featured interactive workshops, company visits, and ample opportunities for professional and personal networking. Electronics Goes Green 2024+ thus sent a strong signal once again for the urgent transformation of the electronics industry toward greater sustainability.
