I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
June 16, 2023 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

Our curated list of must-read content includes planning for the following items: new courses from IPC, a new listing on the NYSE, a new manufacturing facility for materials in Southeast Asia, brand-new inspection equipment solutions for SEMICON West, and new air traffic management systems in Indonesia.
