NürnbergMesse Italia is expanding its trade show project in Vicenza, Italy, with the launch of ‘Focus on Components’ to run concurrently with Focus on PCB – the trade fair for printed circuit boards. The new event will debut 21–22 April, 2027.

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 specialised events, providing a more comprehensive view of the electronics supply chain and creating new networking opportunities for 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.

Danny D’Alessandro, managing director, NürnbergMesse Italia, said: “Our goal is to create a meeting point for all stakeholders in the electronics supply chain.”

Electronic components are indispensable in strategic sectors such as aerospace and defence, as well as in general industry and an ever-growing range of everyday products and dialogue among manufacturers, distributors, and end-users has become increasingly vital for addressing the challenges surrounding the selection, availability, and procurement of electronic components.
