& become part of beyond electronics

What is beyond electronics?

beyond electronics is a stand-alone area within the beyond economy Festival – with focus on the question: How does Europe’s electronics industry stay technologically leading and resilient?

In panels, use cases, and deep dives, thought leaders show how companies jointly develop new standards – from material choice and design through to the finished overall device, reuse, and data flows.

Already on board: Mayerhofer Elektronik, elobau, Feinhütte Halsbrücke, Paggen Werkzeugtechnik, MESSTEC Power Converter GmbH, Shift Phone, Novexx Solutions, and many more.

What is Symtronics?

Goal

Circular, resilient, connected electronics systems.

Foundation

Co-creation, systems thinking, collaboration on equal footing.

beyond electronics is a joint appearance of Symtronics within the beyond economy Festival. Anyone who books a ticket automatically becomes part of this area – for exchange, co-creation, networking, and showing yourself.

Voices of the beyond economy Movement

Elias Vögel
Multivative GmbH

“Everyone struggles with the same problems – but everyone acts as if they’re alone with it. beyond electronics brings together people who really want to change something – not just talk.”

Udo Weller
weconfair GmbH

“Cooperation becomes an engine of innovation. Beyond electronics creates spaces where future thinking and industrial structure meet.”

Sarah Stolz
Feinhütte Halsbrücke GmbH

“Through Symtronics, we have access to partners with whom we can really shape loops – from material to product.”

Michael Geiger
Sym GmbH

“With Symtronics, we are building a space where we can shape change together and reduce risks for individuals. A space in which inventiveness, courage, entrepreneurial thinking, and collaboration can unfold freely. Together we achieve more.”

Daniela Kauffmann

“In times of permanent crisis, real security only comes from strong values-based connections between people and their self-efficacy – no longer from external stability. Symtronics, as a symbiotic business ecosystem with our electronics companies, brings together the entire value chain in extraordinary depth of interlinking.”

Merlin Reingruber
Mayerhofer Elektronik GmbH

“We had to rethink many things – from manufacturing to responsibility. The moment I saw under what conditions electronics are produced in Asia was a turning point. Since then it has been clear: we need circular economy, made in Europe. With Symtronics, we have proven that this is possible – together, with partners who want the same thing: a future-fit electronics industry.”

Michael Segl
Mayerhofer Elektronik GmbH

“Together, we are the current that creates connection, brings forth innovation, and lets many benefit. Beyond the limits of classical collaboration, ideas emerge in Symtronics that lastingly change the market and society.”

Oliver de Jong Schiekl
Dontenwill AG

We see ourselves as a digitalization partner for SMEs and bring direct access to the electronics industry through our ERP system. Companies like Mayerhofer show what potential emerges when their own solutions become part of a shared ecosystem. As a software vendor, we provide the foundation on which such cooperations grow.

Who is beyond electronics for?

Electronics manufacturers, suppliers & developers
Because they stand at the source of technological change. Here they learn how cooperation along the value chain creates new standards for quality, transparency, and circularity – and how they themselves can become part of it.
CSR & innovation leads
Because sustainable transformation only succeeds when ecological, social, and economic goals are thought of together. beyond electronics shows how responsibility, efficiency, and innovation can be brought into harmony.
Founders & decision-makers
Because the future-fitness of their company depends on how well they use networks and ecosystems. beyond electronics offers access to partners, projects, and ideas that redefine growth – communally instead of in isolation.
Representatives from research, product manufacturers & NGOs
Because knowledge, practice, and societal change only have effect together. beyond electronics brings business, science, and civil society into open dialogue – as a foundation for solutions that are not only technically but also societally relevant.
