October 1, 2025 | Arpita Das, Global Electronics AssociationEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Integrated Electronics Manufacturing & Interconnections (IEMI) 2026, Jan. 29–30, at Taj Yeshwantpur, Bengaluru, builds on the success of IEMI 2024, which took place in both Kuala Lumpur and Bengaluru and attracted over 1,200 participants. From smart factory showcases to IPC-certified soldering competitions, it was a platform for knowledge exchange and technical engagement.
IEMI 2026, organized by the Global Electronics Association, allows for technological leadership, cross-border collaboration, and standards-based excellence, with an even deeper focus on innovation, investment, and industry alignment.
Why IEMI Matters
India’s electronics sector is growing at record speed, backed by strong policy frameworks, rising global demand, and a clear intent to become a design and manufacturing hub for high-reliability electronics. For those working in the region or just interested in learning more about potential suppliers or potential investment opportunities, IEMI 2026 should make the must-attend list. The 2026 event is the perfect meeting spot for OEMs, EMS providers, government agencies, defence integrators, automotive innovators, and electronics educators.
