“Focus on PCB” has already become well-established. With “Focus on Components,” NürnbergMesse Italia is expanding its trade show project in Vicenza and creating an electronics ecosystem.

“Focus on PCB” has already established itself as a meeting point for the PCB (Printed Circuit Board), PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly), and EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services) supply chain. With the introduction of "Focus on Components," NürnbergMesse Italia is expanding its trade fair project in Vicenza, creating an electronics ecosystem comprised of two specialized events—each with its own distinct identity, yet offering complementary perspectives.

Together, the two events provide a more comprehensive view of the electronics supply chain and create new networking opportunities, addressing the needs of a sector that increasingly demands greater integration between design, procurement, and manufacturing. The two events will take place in adjacent halls and will be accessible with a single admission ticket, allowing visitors to explore both exhibition offerings.

Danny D’Alessandro, Managing Director, NürnbergMesse Italia: “Our goal is to create a meeting point for all stakeholders in the electronics supply chain. Following the successful establishment of our event focused on PCBs, PCBAs, and EMS, the launch of Focus on Components—dedicated to the component sector—marks a crucial next step in our strategic roadmap.”

Electronic components are indispensable in strategic sectors such as aerospace and defense, as well as in general industry and an ever-growing range of everyday products, playing a fundamental role in technological innovation and industrial development. Against this backdrop, dialogue among manufacturers, distributors, and end-users has become increasingly vital for addressing the challenges surrounding the selection, availability, and procurement of electronic components.
