Within the National Platform for Electric Mobility, Professor Olesch is a member of the steering committee and chairs the working group “Education and Qualification”.
Professor Olesch, like all other elected top managers, was unable to accept the award personally, thanks to Corona. So instead of a stage, the award ceremony took place in the office or home office. No reason for the awardees to be less proud to receive the award, as Markt & Technik is one of the most renowned trade magazines in the industry and its readers are well-versed experts in the electronics sector.
Markt & Technik is a weekly newspaper for electronics with a print run of 32,000 copies. It is published by WEKA Fachmedienverlag. The corresponding internet presence can be found here:
