To transform human-machine interaction for the increasingly automated and connected world, you need the technology and guidance to get there. That’s why Avnet and NXP are teaming up for a series of workshops. The goal is to help educate design engineers and creators on how to turn the latest and greatest in processors into the next innovation in consumer technology, industrial automation or mobile computing.

Avnet’s got 1 million reasons to celebrate this summer. 

Why? Because we’ve reached a milestone of 1 million community members across Hackster.io and element14, comprising one of the largest engineering communities on the planet to help get anyone from hobbyist to lifelong creator help inventing and vetting the next groundbreaking technology. 

History is full of stories of great visionaries with revolutionary ideas for breakthrough products and solutions that never came to fruition due to limitations of available technology. With the emergence of the Internet of Things, these stories of unfulfilled potential may well be a thing of the past, according to Lou Lutostanski, vice president of IoT, Avnet, in a recently posted CRN article.

In a recent Dataweek article, Ralf Buehler, senior vice president, sales and marketing for Premier Farnell outlined how the combination of Avnet and Premier Farnell has yielded a unique new technology distribution business model that perfectly positions the two organizations to fulfill the changing customer and market demands driven by a range of technological and competitive market forces.
