Tempo Automation President & CEO Joy Weiss and Chairman Behrooz Abdi

Electronics manufacturing is a huge sector, but it's also fragmented, particularly at the early stages of a new product's lifecycle.

With its SPAC deal, Tempo Automation (NASDAQ:TMPO) is hoping to change that.

This week, we speak with Tempo Automation President and CEO Joy Weiss and Chairman Behrooz Abdi.

Tempo combined with ACE Convergence Acquisition Corporation in November 2022, and Joy explains the advantages of the SPAC route for Tempo’s consolidation strategy.

Behrooz, who led ACE Convergence's team before the merger, walks us through the technology landscape from a SPAC’s perspective and what it was like getting a deal to close under challenging market conditions.
