Components & sourcing
electronica 2026
The broadest meeting point for component technology, design and distribution.
Components and suppliers in one place
Held every two years in Munich since 1964, electronica covers components and electronic systems across design, distribution and applications. The 2026 trade fair runs at Messe München on 10–13 November, alongside SEMICON Europa. The organiser reports more than 3,480 exhibitors and 80,000 visitors at the 2024 edition; those are historical figures, not attendance claims for 2026.
Planning meetings and conference sessions
The programme combines supplier stands with technical forums covering areas such as electromobility, energy and automation. The separate electronica Automotive Conference is on 9 November, before the main exhibition dates. For engineering and purchasing teams, prepare meetings around current requirements: second sources, lifecycle support, qualification, power budgets and technical assistance.
Turn a broad exhibition into useful meetings
Shortlist suppliers through the current exhibitor directory and arrange meetings around a clear requirement. Include technical support, qualification, lifecycle and sourcing questions. The Automotive Conference is on 9 November, ahead of the main exhibition, so check separate registration if you want to attend.
