Topic
Every year all EPIC members come together to network and learn about the developments of the association, and contribute their ideas to the future strategy of the organization. This year we will meet online and the original event planned to take place in Vilnius, Lithuania has been postponed tentatively to 07-08 April 2022. During the event EPIC’s president, Benno Oderkerk, will welcome the participants followed by reviewing activities of 2020 (EPIC Activity Report 2020). After the approval of the accounts and presenting current actions as well as future plans, two new board members will be introduced to the association. Technology and Market talks will be presented by VIGO Systems and TRUMPF Components, and some companies will present their needs with regards to raising capital.
