electronica 2026

Since 1964, electronica has been a meeting point for the international electronics industry in Munich. Organised by Messe München and held every two years, it covers the full spectrum of electronic components, systems, applications and solutions, from semiconductors and passive components to sensors, displays, power electronics, PCBs, embedded systems, test and measurement and electronic manufacturing services.

The audience is technical and commercial. Design engineers, purchasers and managers come from sectors such as automotive, industrial automation, medical technology, energy, communications and consumer electronics, many of them with pre-booked meetings and specific sourcing questions. Exhibitors range from major semiconductor manufacturers and distributors to specialist component makers and service providers.

The fair is supported by a substantial content programme. Practice-oriented forums run throughout the show, and the electronica Automotive Conference draws engineers from one of the industry's largest customer sectors. In some editions electronica also shares the Munich grounds with SEMICON Europa, which adds semiconductor manufacturing expertise to the mix.

For suppliers, the event is a key European opportunity to present new products, meet global customers and see competitors in one place. Because it is biennial, many companies time product launches to it, and buyers often use it to review their supply base for the following two years.
