## Summary

Anders Lindqvist, Group CEO of Mycronic, discusses the company's diverse portfolio of electronics manufacturing equipment, including die bonding, pick-and-place, and semiconductor mask writers. He highlights Mycronic's strategy of spending 15% of revenue on R&D and aligning innovation with customer needs, particularly regarding sustainability and efficiency. Lindqvist explains how regulatory pressures like CSRD are driving demand for energy-efficient solutions and detailed sustainability reporting, even when the business case is unclear. The conversation also covers the industry-wide talent shortage, which is accelerating the adoption of automation and intelligence to boost productivity rather than just speed.
