TechInsights Europe, the leading dedicated information and marketing services business serving the European electronics market, announces today the availability of the Embedded Systems Europe media portfolio for embedded systems development dedicated to the European market.

"TechInsights, the first media brand reaching the global embedded systems design community through print, online and in-person events, is now by far the most significant provider of information and marketing services to the embedded community," stated Andre Rousselot, VP Europe and Publisher at TechInsights Europe.

With the acquisition of the UK Embedded Systems Show (ESS) in June, the UK's largest embedded system design event, and the addition of its companion print property Embedded System Engineering, TechInsights deepened its leadership role in the embedded space, joining the industry-leading Embedded Systems Conferences, Embedded.com and Embedded Systems Design US magazine.

Colin Holland, newly promoted Editor-in-Chief of the Embedded Systems Europe portfolio, said, "The launch of the Embedded Systems Europe brand is a truly exciting development as it takes us one step closer to achieving the fully global market reach that TechInsights' embedded portfolio has promised to deliver. The European embedded designer needs a forum fully dedicated to the in-depth analysis and reportage of innovation in their industry and technologies that will help them to further success in their careers."
