Forsberg are proud to be one of, currently 22 members of the Electech Innovation Cluster (ETIC). But what exactly is the Electech industry and how are the ETIC involved?
What is Electech?
Electech is the enabler of all things digital and the name given to the innovative electronics and technology industry. The sector that produces the hardware and embedded software that allows products and processes to communicate and have power, enable situational awareness and be controlled, automated and to be operated safely and even autonomously. The Electech sector is integral to the future of the UK’s economy, underpinning a wide range of products and solutions across virtually all industries and Forsberg are proud to work within such a significant industry sector.
