## Summary

Sanjay Huprikar, Chief Global Officer at the Global Electronics Association, explains how the organization facilitates global collaboration by allowing standards to originate in any region, such as China’s rail standards, and expand through Europe, India, and North America. He highlights the Paris summit’s success in creating a neutral space where top EMS competitors discuss generic challenges like talent pipelines and supply risk rather than proprietary secrets. Huprikar details the association's rebrand from IPC to Global Electronics Association, emphasizing a dual focus on high-level C-suite advocacy and hands-on workforce development through training, hand soldering, and wire harnessing competitions.
