I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week

09/03/2026 | Michelle Te, I-Connect007
As a longtime journalist, I always find myself pulled in so many directions of curiosity. I’ve often felt like the saying, “A jack of all trades, master of none.” It seems to be the price I’ve paid as a writer and editor, delving into so many different corners of industry, community, and the human condition. But that’s also why I love this week’s collection of must-reads. From novel flexible circuits to modernizing IPC standards, a trade show in the burgeoning China Plus One region, Mexico’s manufacturing moment, and opportunities for workforce development, we’ve gone around the world and back again. We touch on so many aspects of the industry, and especially the opportunities and challenges of keeping up with change.

Nolan’s Notes: Why Mexico’s Time Has Come

09/02/2026 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's Notes
Why are so many electronics companies looking more closely at Mexico? Geography and labor costs are obvious answers, but trade policy adds another important piece to the equation. U.S. trade attorney James Kim recently pointed out that certain Chinese-origin IT goods can qualify for USMCA preferential treatment when shipped to the U.S. from Mexico, even when the Mexican operation consists only of sorting, picking, packing, and shipping. The provision, rooted in NAFTA Annex 308.1 and recognized in U.S. Customs and Border Protection rulings, gives Mexico a potentially valuable role as a gateway into the U.S. market and strengthens the case for further investment there.
