Electronics 2010, Munich, Germany, November 9-12, 2010

摘要

For anyone familiar with the electronics industry, November in Munich means one of two things; Electronica or Productronica. These are the two exhibitions that are held in November on alternate years at the Neue Messe in Munich. This year it was Electronica 2010, the 24th trade show and exhibition covering electronic components, systems and applications. For anyone who has not visited Electronica, the sheer scale of the exhibition is at first difficult to comprehend, but the official figures produced by the organisers help to give some idea of its magnitude. There were almost 2,600 exhibitors occupying 143,500 square meters of space in 13 large halls, with over 500 organisations exhibiting just on photovoltaics related products and technology. In addition to the exhibition, there was a full supporting programme of almost 240 lectures and panel discussions covering a wide range of subject material from automotive electronics to wireless technology. Visitors to Electronica also had the opportunity to visit Hybridica, the international trade fair for the development and manufacture of metal-plastic hybrid components which ran concurrently.
