Dear NextFlex Colleagues and Friends,
I want to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who joined us for Innovation Day 2026 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. This year’s event was one of our most successful to date, bringing together leaders from industry, academia, government, and the defense industrial base to showcase innovation, strengthen partnerships, and advance the future of hybrid electronics.
Innovation Day is designed to do more than highlight technology. It serves as a forum where our community comes together to exchange ideas, build trusted relationships, and accelerate the transition of emerging technologies into fieldable, manufacturable solutions that support both commercial and defense applications. This year’s program delivered on that mission through engaging technical sessions focused on scalable innovation, technology transition, and the growing role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in hybrid electronics design and manufacturing. Two member-only sessions embedded in the co-located “Electronics Reshaped” conference the following day focused on Hybrid Electronics for Unmanned Systems and Resilient Electronics for Challenging Operational Environments.
