New Delhi [India], October 10 (ANI/ATK): Electronica India and productronica India 2022 concluded on a high note with actionable ideas and partnerships towards Aatmanirbhar Bharat. The marquee event reinforced its position as South Asia's largest trade fairs for the electronics ecosystem.
Through strong partnerships with the industry and unstinted support from industry associations - ELCINA, ICEA, IESA and IPCA, the 2022 editions focused on promoting domestic manufacturing and driving investments in futuristic sectors for the Indian economy. Regarding the successful response to the tradeshow, CEO Forum and India PCB Tech Conference, Rajoo Goel, Secretary General, Electronic Industries Association of India (ELCINA), said, "We are happy to see such good response for the entire exhibition and conferences, and congratulate the MMI team for the excellent execution and attention to detail. The 7th edition of CEO Forum was well attended, and all guests and speakers had been carefully selected based on their experience and knowledge. The India PCB Tech Conference organized with support from IPCA, was of great interest to participants from PCB domain and ELCINA's Comprehensive Report "Roadmap for Developing PCB-Eco System in India" prepared with support from MMI, was released by Shri Amitesh Kumar Sinha, Joint Secretary, MeitY. It was heartening to see the exchange of knowledge and actionable ideas towards achieving the country's USD 300 billion vision plan for electronics manufacturing. All attendees at this year's CEO Forum and India PCB Tech Conference provided important insights into building an advanced manufacturing ecosystem for increased value addition." One of the main highlights of these editions was the launch of the India Semiconductor Conclave, a high-powered gathering of industry leaders, technology experts, and policymakers who deliberated on relevant topics and possible solutions for enabling the India semiconductor and display ecosystem. The conferences were powered by India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA) and India Electronics & Semiconductor Association (IESA). Regarding the India Semiconductor Conclave, Vivek Tyagi, Chairman, IESA, said, "We were happy to present the conference on 'Promoting Semiconductor Ecosystem in India' at the inaugural edition of this conclave. India is emerging as a formidable player in semiconductor manufacturing and the time is ripe to leverage our strengths in fabless design and move up the value chain by deriving greater value addition, particularly in semiconductors and IP domains. Hence, we are excited about the India Semiconductor Conclave at Electronica India and productronica India 2022, and all the ideas that were exchanged to achieve "aatmanirbharta" in semiconductor design and manufacturing." The trade shows and conferences were supported by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) with their 'Electronics India' Pavilion and various other pavilions by the state governments of Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, and Chhattisgarh. The host state Uttar Pradesh organized a pavilion, wherein the leading companies like Oppo and Vivo, which have set up their manufacturing base in Uttar Pradesh participated. Electronica India and productronica India 2022, along with the co-located trade fairs MatDispens and IPCA Expo were spread across 25,000 square meters, with 325 exhibitors from 19 countries showcasing 3,000+ products. A total of 20,942 visitors attended the trade fairs and the supporting programs to see the futuristic solutions on display at the exhibition grounds. "We are delighted that Electronica India and productronica India 2022 once again proved to be an essential meeting place for the industry. The shows' success is demonstrated through a 25% increase in domestic participation over the last edition in Greater Noida. The ideas and opinions shared by industry leaders in the exhibition halls as well as the conferences will certainly unlock the industry's potential and entrepreneurial spirit, thereby taking the country closer to its vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat," commented Bhupinder Singh, CEO, Messe Muenchen India.
