Focusing on Emerging Technologies [Industry Forum]

The "Industry Forum" is a series created by the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) to focus on industry directions and the use of emerging technologies in industry products.

We plan to discuss research and product requirements among our diverse, highly international Society Members. These presentations and other activities of the Industry Forum are created to add value and interesting functions to our industry members. Our first Industry
