Dear Friends,

My second expert talk, just yesterday, was another success and encourages me to continue this format. It's a nice opportunity to meet friends and partners and give each other an update on the advances in Wide Bandgap Technology. Don't mind if you missed it, we recorded the whole session and will make it available on our website soon. The next episode is scheduled for the end of September.

Find all my magazines from 2006 on in our free archive on bodospower.com.
Do not miss our Chinese version bodospowerchina.com.
There is no better way to communicate. We all share one world.
As a publisher I serve the world: one magazine, on time, every time.

Best Regards,
