electronica 2024 demonstrates the industry’s innovative strength A
t electronica 2024 in Munich, Germany, the international electronics industry
demonstrated in 18 exhibition halls that digital technologies are the key to achieving a carbon-neutral future. From 12th to 15th November, 3,480 exhibitors presented their innovations across the entire spectrum of electronics to about 80,000 visitors at the global trade fair. In addition to sustainability, key topics such as artificial intelligence, the future of mobility, and the development of young talent sparked lively discussions at the exhibition stands and throughout the extensive supporting programme. The equally successful SEMICON Europa took place concurrently in two halls. Dr. Reinhard Pfeiffer, CEO of Messe München, said: “For 60 years, electronica has been the central meeting place for the global electronics industry. This year’s trade fair here in Munich, a leading technology hub, was once again an impressive demonstration of the industry’s innovative strength. In the halls, visitors were able to see firsthand how future technologies are already taking shape - from intelligent energy solutions to smart mobility - and the vital role the electronics industry plays in making this happen.” Two programme highlights on the day before the trade fair set the stage for a strong start to electronica. The electronica Automotive Conference brought together international specialists and leaders from across the supply chain to discuss the current challenges facing the industry. This was

followed by the CEO Roundtable with CEOs Jean-Marc Chery (STMicroelectronics), Jochen Hanebeck (Infineon Technologies) and Kurt Sievers (NXP Semiconductors) along with special guest Barbara Bergmeier (executive director of industrial operations at Jaguar Land Rover). Among other things, they highlighted the crucial role of international cooperation in the semiconductor industry and discussed how artificial intelligence can help ensure stable supply chains. During electronica’s supporting
programme, experts shared their knowledge through application-oriented presentations on nearly every area of electronics, across six stages. New focal points in the forum programme included AI machine learning, industrial control, and women in tech. Sustainability and the circular economy were also prominent topics, featured in presentations, discussion rounds, and special tours. Another key focus was on the talents of tomorrow: The Fast Forward platform
gave selected start-ups a stage to present their innovations, while the Career Area provided insights into career prospects in the electronics industry through personalised advice and an online job exchange. The Young Talents Day for pupils and students was also met with great enthusiasm.
The next electronica will take place on 10th to 13th November 2026.
