Embedded systems play a crucial role in electronics industries today. The inherent value of embedded systems lies in their pervasiveness and ubiquity. They are literally embedded in all electronic products, from consumer electronics to office automation, automotive, medical devices and communications. As customers demand more sophisticated and cost-effective electronic devices and solutions, embedded systems become the critical technology platform on which manufacturing companies can deliver satisfaction to them.
The worldwide embedded systems market in 2005 generated $25 billion worldwide, according to a joint report by the National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM) and McKinsey & Co. It is expected to have a double-digit growth over the next few years, and will reach $88 billion by 2009.
Singapore also has the conditions to tap this market. The island has over 2,000 skilled embedded engineers and more than 200 companies in this field (data from Singapore’s Economic Development Board). It is host to multinational companies which have long established their embedded systems and R&D capabilities alongside their operations here. Singapore's consumer electronic product manufacturing, which contributes a big chunk to the electronics sector’s revenue, relies heavily on embedded systems and software.
More than ever before, engineers in Asia are increasingly looking for the latest embedded solutions and development tools to take their products to the next level.
Participate in this year’s EDN Asia Embedded Systems Seminar and deliberate on the latest design methodologies, hardware/software tools and embedded systems trends today. Registration is free but seats are very limited, so reserve your seat today!
