Rüdiger Quay elected to the Executive Board of the Information Technology Society within the VDE

“The independence of European value chains in the information and electronics industry is of great importance. As a member of the Executive Board, it is therefore my concern to promote our technological sovereignty with the help of ITG and to focus on sustainability—because sustainable technologies are part of our competitive advantage. The semiconductor and communications industry is facing a decade of technological breakthroughs. It is important that industry, research and universities work together to help shape developments and be successful in a changed world,” Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Quay says, summarizing his agenda as new member of the Executive Board.
