electronica 2026 in Munich, Germany

electronica 2026 — the world’s leading trade fair and conference for the entire industry chain: from components and modules to systems, software, and manufacturing services.

The next edition will take place at Messe München, Munich, Germany. Format: B2B exhibition across 18 halls, forums, CEO discussions, and parallel conferences.

History of electronica: 60 Years of Innovation

The premiere took place in 1964 — it was Germany’s first exhibition entirely dedicated to electronic components. Since then, electronica has been held every two years, marking key industry shifts — from miniaturization to an “all-electric” future.

In the anniversary year of 2024, the exhibition occupied all 18 halls of Messe München for the first time and attracted record-breaking audience interest.

About the electronica 2026 Event: What Happens On-Site

Topics: semiconductors, passive and electromechanical components, embedded systems and IoT, power electronics, sensors, test and measurement, RF and communications, materials, and manufacturing.

Program: industry forums (including Power Electronics Forum), Visionary Stage, hands-on demos at booths, and conferences on automotive electronics and embedded platforms.

Partner event — SEMICON Europa (held alongside electronica in select years), enhancing focus on semiconductor equipment and manufacturing.

Advantages of electronica: Numbers That Drive Business

• Messe München — 18 halls and approximately 200,000 m² of indoor space plus 414,000 m² of outdoor areas: ample room for large booths, showcases, and meeting rooms.
• 2024 results: around 80,000 visitors and 3,480 exhibitors from 58 countries over four days — a concentration of solutions and decision-makers hard to replicate.
• Broad reach: from design engineers and procurement to OEM/EMS and distribution — a fast track from pilot to scale.
• Synergy with SEMICON Europa: adjacent ecosystem for chip production, packaging, and equipment.

Six Notable electronica Participants

• Infineon. German leader in power electronics and secure controllers. At electronica, the focus is on decarbonization and digitization: SiC modules, autonomous charging, and solutions for e-mobility and industry.
• STMicroelectronics. STM32 microcontrollers, power electronics (including GaN/SiC), sensors, and connectivity. At the booth — reference designs for automotive, industrial, and smart home applications.
• NXP. Processors and secure communications for automotive and IoT. Showcasing platforms for programmable vehicle architectures and energy-efficient radio solutions.
• Analog Devices. Precision, ADC/DAC, RF, and power solutions. At electronica — demos for in-vehicle electronics, medical, and industrial systems with a focus on measurement and control.
• Murata. Passive components, power modules, filters, and sensors. Presenting compact solutions for high-density boards and wireless systems.
• TDK. From passive components and power electronics to sensors and energy storage solutions. At the booth — product lines for automotive electronics and industrial automation.

The exhibitor lineup varies from cycle to cycle, but these brands consistently appear in the catalog and event communications.

Recommendations for electronica 2026 Visitors

• Plan your route through halls and forums in advance: Power Electronics, Embedded/Industrial Control, Visionary Stage — otherwise, you may miss key announcements.
• Book meetings via the exhibitor catalog and use meeting rooms near the halls — it saves hours.
• Travel: Take U2 to Messestadt West/Ost. If driving, allow time for parking and moving between pavilions.
• Bring an “engineer’s kit”: requirements outline, BOM, and questions for vendors — get tailored recommendations right at the booth.
• Check out the partner event SEMICON Europa (when held concurrently) — valuable for chip manufacturing and packaging topics.

How to Participate in electronica 2026 as an Exhibitor

Steps: confirm participation, select pavilion and booth size, arrange technical services (electricity, rigging, internet), order equipment via the Exhibitor Shop, and plan logistics for samples and demos.
