electronica takes place at Messe München in Munich from 10 November to 13 November 2026. The world's leading trade fair for electronic components and systems across all technology sectors.

What the fair covers

Electronic components, assemblies and consumer devices are the core of the show. The world's leading trade fair for electronic components and systems across all technology sectors. That shapes both the exhibitor mix and the questions worth preparing before you arrive.

Dates, venue and getting there

The fair runs from 10 November to 13 November 2026 at Messe München in Munich. It runs for 4 days, which is usually enough to cover several product areas without rushing. German exhibition grounds are generally connected to the rail network and run to a reliable schedule. Hotel capacity in the host city fills during the largest fairs, and staying in a nearby town with a direct train is a common and practical solution.

Planning your visit

This is a technical audience, and booth conversations move quickly to tolerances, testing and certification. Engineering staff are often present alongside sales teams, which is where the detailed answers come from. For electronica, that means preparing ahead of the November dates and arriving with a target list of stands.

Language and interpreting support

Exhibitors at major European fairs generally handle English well, particularly at international events. Language support becomes more relevant with smaller regional manufacturers, where technical staff may be more comfortable in the local language than the sales team suggests. An interpreter already working in Munich saves further time simply by knowing the venue and how to move around it.

After the fair

The work after the fair is verification. Check compliance marks and test reports against your market requirements, confirm the bill of materials matches what was quoted, and consider a production inspection with functional testing before the first full shipment.
