Focus on PCB 2025: The Only European Exhibition Dedicated to Printed Circuit Board Industry will take place in Vicenza, Italy on 21-22 May

10 March 2025: Vicenza will once again be at the centre of the international stage with the new edition of “Focus on PCB – From Design to Assembly”, the only European exhibition entirely dedicated to the world of printed circuit boards. The date is set for 21-22 May 2025. Organized by Nurnbergmesse Italia, promoted by Gruppo PCB Assodel and hosted by Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), Focus on PCB benefits from ANIE Componenti Elettronici’s sponsorship and is confirmed as a benchmark event for the European PCB (Printed Circuit Board), PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) and EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services) industry.

A New Hall Gives Even More Space to Technology and Innovation …..

The interest is high, the opportunity to connect highly-qualified exhibitors and visitors is unmatched, and the response from companies has been enthusiastic. For this reason, Focus on PCB 2025 is moving to Hall 7 of the Vicenza fairgrounds: more space for companies and visitors, confirming the success of this B2B event.

“European companies in the printed circuit board industry have recognized Focus on PCB as the benchmark event worldwide, a place where people can meet, discuss and do business in a real way”, declares Stefania Calcaterra, Managing Director of NurnbergMesse Italia. “Having brought a technological exhibition of this level to Italy, in a country that historically boasts some of Europe’s best technical expertise in the PCB sector, is a source of pride for us”.

Focus on PCB: A Well-Recognised Exhibition of International Relevance …..

Focus on PCB has been recognized as an Event of international relevance by Veneto Region: an important confirmation of the exhibition’s value as a benchmark for the European PCB industry. Nowadays, the European printed circuit board industry faces the challenge of redefining its role in a global market dominated by Asian powers. To compete, it must rely on highly specialized skills and advanced technologies that still set it apart worldwide. Events such as Focus on PCB represent a unique opportunity to foster discussion, stimulate innovation and increase European companies’ visibility, from manufacturers to distributors.

The exhibition’s international footprint was already manifest in the 2024 edition, which registered visitors from 25 countries, with a strong presence from Germany, Switzerland, Slovenia, France and Spain. 119 exhibitors from 16 countries from the EMEA and APAC regions, both manufacturers and distributors, gathered in Vicenza. The recognition by Veneto Region confirms Focus on PCB as a strategic platform to build the future of the European PCB industry.

EIPC’s Alun Morgan Opens Focus on PCB with an Analysis of the European Printed Circuit Board Market …..

On 21 May, Focus on PCB 2025 will welcome Alun Morgan, President of EIPC – The European Institute for the PCB Community, who will deliver the show’s opening speech, ‘Electronics Business Outlook: European Market Dynamics’. His presentation will provide an analysis of the global macro-economy, highlighting the main risk factors, and then look at the outlook for the European PCB market and the technological trends in the sector. “I am honoured to be taking part in Focus on PCB, a landmark event for the European PCB industry, recognised for the outstanding quality of its exhibition and technical content,” said Alun Morgan.

Best Professional Soldering Experts from Italy Compete in Vicenza …..

The only Italian date of the IPC Hand Soldering Competition will be held during Focus on PCB: the competition is sponsored by IPC, the global association for the electronic industry. The event, which made its Italian debut in Vicenza in 2021, will once again feature professional soldering experts, ready to compete in making a functional PCBA from extremely small components. In the previous edition, as many as 36 skilled experts, including 9 women, representing 21 companies, competed in a high-level test, which saw only 5 of them succeed in completing the assigned task.

Focus on Career: Opportunity to Connect Companies and Talents in the Printed Circuit Board Industry …..

Return of the “Focus on Career” service at Focus on PCB represents a unique opportunity to connect companies and talents from the industry. Companies seeking professional figures will be able to share details of the profiles they are looking for, posting ads both during the exhibition and online, while visitors will have the possibility to see job offers at the dedicated stand onsite and receive information on how they can apply for job interviews with attending companies. “Focus on Career” was created with the aim of actually responding to the shortage of skilled work force and skills mismatch, creating a direct channel between labour supply and demand.

The event in Vicenza is also an important opportunity to highlight the strategic role of universities and technical institutes in training the young talent that feeds the Italian and European electronics industry. “Schools have always played a fundamental role in preparing the younger generations. We invite students, undergraduates and recent graduates to visit the exhibition and discover first-hand the numerous and stimulating career opportunities the sector has to offer,” concluded Calcaterra.
