Electronics trade fairs in Bangalore from September 21

Bangalore is to play host to Electronica India and Productronica India, twin trade fairs for electronic components, systems, applications and innovative electronics production technology.

Taking place at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) from September 21-23, 2016, the expos will showcase innovative products, solutions and technologies specific to the electronics manufacturing industry. There will be concurrent conferences, buyer-seller meets, B2G meets (business to government) and pavilions from Indian states and six countries.

For the first time, six Indian states – Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and Rajasthan – are participating at the ‘CEO Forum’ which is focusing on ‘Invest in India’ as the main agenda of discussion. Jointly organized by ELCINA and Messe München India, the CEO Forum will be organised concurrently with the trade fairs seeking new investments to accelerate domestic manufacturing. Billed as India’s biggest investor forum in the electronic system design and manufacturing segment, top CEOs are expected to attend and engage with the representatives of these states to choose the best investment destination for their business.

According to organiser of Electronica India and Productronica India and CEO of Messe Munchen India, Bhupinder Singh said: “The market for electronics system design and manufacturing (ESDM) sector is growing and is expected to reach US$ 400 billion by 2020. The aggressive ‘Make in India’ campaign by the Indian government along with allowance of 100% FDI under the automatic route in the sector, the Indian ESDM ecosystem is projected to elevate from conviction to action. These positive trends have created a stronger interest for investments with a focus on domestic manufacturing. The participating Indian states will be presenting investment opportunities for global and domestic manufacturers. The CEO Forum – Invest India will help interested companies to connect with state representatives.”
