01 — FEATURED VIEWPOINT

Innovation is not
a one-time event.

SEMICONDUCTOR PACKAGING NEWSFEBRUARY 9, 2016

VIEWPOINT: Ricardo Fuentes, CEO/President, MATECH

A perspective on why continued innovation is difficult, why markets reward a credible future of innovation, and why technical organizations must keep looking beyond the daily grind for the next useful idea.
