The landscape of European electronics manufacturing is undergoing substantial shifts as geopolitical tensions rise and tariff uncertainties loom large. In this revealing conversation, NOTE CEO Johannes Lind-Widestam  and  Kitron CEO Peter Nilsson share their frontline perspectives on navigating these turbulent waters while maintaining the exceptional performance that has become synonymous with Nordic EMS providers.As tariffs and regional manufacturing requirements reshape global supply chains, both leaders offer pragmatic insights into the challenges ahead. Despite the push for regionalization, the specialized nature of electronic components means complete supply chain localization remains impractical. "Everyone talks about how fast it is to move a factory," Johannes notes, "but if you want to move the electronic production that the US is making in China, that's going to be an enormous investment."As the conversation switches gear to the topic of Nordic EMS Exceptionalism, we examine why Nordics companies consistently stand out for their resilience, profitability, and customer relationships. Scandinavia is the most outsourced market in Europe by some distance, but what exactly drives these advantages? Our guests peel back the curtain on the unique cultural factors that have positioned companies like Note and Keytron at the forefront of the industry."I think there is no secret formula," Johannes reflects, "it's a dedication to do things better and better, to never become complacent." This philosophy of continuous improvement permeates the entire ecosystem, from management approaches to factory floor operations. Peter adds that when American customers visit their Swedish factories, they frequently mistake production operators for senior engineers – a testament to the depth of talent and problem-solving capability built into their workforce.The conversation reveals how the region's manufacturing heritage, stemming from telecom giants like Ericsson and Nokia, created not just technical expertise but a distinctive approach to business relationships. Unlike more protective manufacturing cultures found elsewhere in Europe, Scandinavian companies embrace openness and partnership. This cultural orientation creates sticky, strategic relationships with customers rather than merely transactional ones.Discover why cultural factors and leadership approaches may ultimately determine which manufacturers thrive in this uncertain environment, and why the Scandinavian model offers valuable lessons for the broader electronics industry.EMS@C-Level is sponsored by global inspection leaders Koh Young (https://www.kohyoung.com) and Creative Electron (https://creativeelectron.com) You can see video versions of all of the EMS@C-Level pods on our YouTube playlist.

Hamstrings are crucial for speed and injury prevention. The anatomy of hamstrings is complex and specialized. Biceps femoris long head is the most commonly injured hamstring. Fatigue significantly alters movement patterns and injury risk. Different sports have varying rates of hamstring injuries. Proximal injuries are more common than distal injuries. Effective rehabilitation requires understanding of hamstring function. Training should focus on both hip and knee movements. Range of motion is key for optimal performance. Knee-over-hip movement targets specific hamstring muscles. Nordics are effective for hamstring injury prevention. Trunk control is vital for efficient hamstring function. Thorough hamstring development addresses all muscle groups. Hamstrings may require different training strategies based on fiber type. Acceleration plays a significant role in hamstring rehabilitation. Strength training should focus on a large range of motion. Sled training can enhance sprinting performance. Eccentric overload studies are needed for better understanding. Practical application in training is crucial for athletes.   Linktree: https://linktr.ee/r5.johan?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacrLUbPVowp-fLmXuiL24aEhLAbiDybz36SPGRE1B5OGUQazY4BMcIuIcmP6A_aem_v59RXN2FxyxAgIMsNZpAmQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/r5.johan/?hl=en Twitter: https://x.com/lahti_johan Notes: https://jackedathlete.com/podcast-141-hamstrings-and-hamstring-tendons-with-johan-lahti/

What if the key to creating a more sustainable future lies not in reinventing capitalism entirely, but in looking at how it already works elsewhere? In this episode of Nordic Visionaries, a special series inside the Innovation Storytellers Show, we welcome Dr. Robert Strand, Executive Director of the Nordic Center at UC Berkeley and Associate Professor at the Copenhagen Business School. With one foot firmly planted in American academia and the other deeply connected to Nordic thought leadership, Robert offers a compelling comparison between American and Nordic models of capitalism highlighting how the Nordics are approaching profit, climate responsibility, and long-term societal well-being. Drawing on his research, leadership courses, and real-world corporate experience, Robert shares why many of the assumptions embedded in American business culture deserve to be challenged. He explains why sustainable capitalism is desirable and necessary and how it can be built on models already in practice across Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Whether it's universal childcare, patient capital, stakeholder-driven innovation, or strong democratic institutions, Robert walks us through the policies and cultural mindsets that allow Nordic companies to be both competitive and conscientious. We also explore how sustainability can drive innovation and how American business leaders might need to rethink their relationship with speed, growth, and quarterly returns. Robert calls for a shift in leadership priorities, urging executives to act as advocates for society as much as for their bottom line. From planetary boundaries to AI, from corporate structures to childcare, this conversation challenges long-held ideas about what makes capitalism work. Can we borrow from Nordic approaches to shape a more resilient and just economy? And are American businesses ready to reimagine their role in a changing world? Tune in and share your thoughts.

What can the UK learn from the Nordic approach to manufacturing—and how can technology play a central role in revitalising the sector? This week on Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Simon Ranyard, Managing Director for Northwest Europe at Orange Business, to explore the strategic differences between two regions facing similar challenges but moving in very different directions. Simon brings a unique cross-regional view, overseeing Orange Business operations across the UK, Ireland, and the Nordics. While labour shortages and productivity declines are shared concerns, Simon explains why Nordic manufacturers have responded with long-term investments in digitisation and automation, creating not just gains in efficiency but also a rise in high-skill employment. In contrast, many UK firms are still defaulting to short-term headcount increases, missing the bigger opportunity. We discuss the data behind the divergence, including why Sweden has three times the robot density of the UK, and what that means for output and workforce transformation. Simon highlights how automation isn't about job replacement, but role elevation—moving people away from repetitive tasks and into positions that require critical thinking and collaboration with advanced tools. He also shares practical insight into how technologies like 5G, AR, and IoT are reshaping production environments, lowering operational costs, and helping companies stay competitive globally. With government-backed reskilling initiatives and AI now moving from theory to application, Simon makes the case for UK manufacturers to adopt a more strategic, future-facing mindset. If you work in manufacturing, policy, or are simply curious about how different regions are using tech to solve shared problems, this episode offers real-world perspective and tactical advice. What kind of investment decisions will define the next decade of UK industry—and can a mindset shift help close the productivity gap?

Extraterrestrial life, or alien life, is life that originates from another world rather than on Earth. Such life might range from simple forms such as prokaryotes to intelligent beings, possibly bringing forth civilizations that might be far more, or far less, advanced than humans. But when it comes to alien life that has seemingly been in contact with humans throughout the centuries, why do they all look like us? Hop in the spaceship with Joel, Justin and Jay, as they unravel the mystery behind the alien look-a-likes. They take a hard look at the Sassani, Yahyel, Nordics and Greys to peel back why they are so similar to us but hail from galaxies far far away. Lastly, they rip off the masks of these beings to bring into the light what they actually are and what their real goal is here on Earth.

The Alien and UFO Question has made a lot of headlines lately. In a stunning revelation, Whistleblower Jake Barber came forward and announced that he was contracted to retrieve alien craft by an entity in the US. He described retrieving and egg shaped object as well as other craft. In order to make sense of Jake Barber's revelations, it is necessary to go back in time to Roswell, New Mexico and an interview between an alien named Aril and a young nurse named Matilda O' Donnell Macelroy. What the Aril the alien told Matilda Macelroy could easily be dismissed, except the information keeps resurfacing all the way from the 1940's to the revelations made by Jake Barber, Barney and Betty Hill and many other abductees. In this comprehensive look at the alien, UFO and UAP Phenomenon, the "drone" invasion in November of 2024 and the claims that disclosure is coming, Encounters USA points out the realities and possible consequences should there be complete disclosure about the Extraterrestrial Phenomenon.

The rapid rise of data centers has put many power industry demand forecasters on edge. Some predict the power-hungry nature of the facilities will quickly create problems for utilities and the grid. ICIS, a data analytics provider, calculates that in 2024, demand from data centers in Europe accounted for 96 TWh, or 3.1% of total power demand. “Now, you could say it's not a lot—3%—it's just a marginal size, but I'm going to spice it up a bit with two additional layers,” Matteo Mazzoni, director of Energy Analytics at ICIS, said as a guest on The POWER Podcast. “One is: that power demand is very consolidated in just a small subset of countries. So, five countries account of over 60% of that European power demand. And within those five countries, which are the usual suspects in terms of Germany, France, the UK, Ireland, and Netherlands, half of that consumption is located in the FLAP-D market, which sounds like a fancy new coffee, but in reality is just five big cities: Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris, and Dublin.” Predicting where and how data center demand will grow in the future is challenging, however, especially when looking out more than a few years. “What we've tried to do with our research is to divide it into two main time frames,” Mazzoni explained. “The next three to five years, where we see our forecast being relatively accurate because we looked at the development of new data centers, where they are being built, and all the information that are currently available. And, then, what might happen past 2030, which is a little bit more uncertain given how fast technology is developing and all that is happening on the AI [artificial intelligence] front.” Based on its research, ICIS expects European data center power demand to grow 75% by 2030, to 168 TWh. “It's going to be a lot of the same,” Mazzoni predicted. “So, those big centers—those big cities—are still set to attract most of the additional data center consumption, but we see the emergence of also new interesting markets, like the Nordics and to a certain extent also southern Europe with Iberia [especially Spain] being an interesting market.” Yet, there is still a fair amount of uncertainty around demand projections. Advances in liquid cooling methods will likely reduce data center power usage. That's because liquid cooling offers more efficient heat dissipation, which translates directly into lower electricity consumption. Additionally, there are opportunities for further improvement in power usage effectiveness (PUE), which is a widely used data center energy efficiency metric. At the global level, the average PUE has decreased from 2.5 in 2007 to a current average of 1.56, according to the ICIS report. However, new facilities consistently achieve a PUE of 1.3 and sometimes much better. Google, which has many state-of-the-art and highly efficient data centers, reported a global average PUE of 1.09 for its facilities over the last year. Said Mazzoni, “An expert in the field told us when we were doing our research, when tech moves out of the equation and you have energy engineers stepping in, you start to see that a lot of efficiency improvements will come, and demand will inevitably fall.” Thus, data center load growth projections should be taken with a grain of salt. “The forecast that we have beyond 2030 will need to be revised,” Mazzoni predicted. “If we look at the history of the past 20 years—all analysts and all forecasts around load growth—they all overshoot what eventually happened. The first time it happened when the internet arrived—there was obviously great expectations—and then EVs, electric vehicles, and then heat pumps. But if we look at, for example, last year—2024—European power demand was up by 1.3%, U.S. power demand was up by 1.8%, and probably weather was the main driver behind that growth.”
