Productronica 2023: Day 1 Review
November 14, 2023 | Barry Matties, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute
The November rain didn’t stop the long line of attendees waiting at the door for productronica 2023 to open Tuesday, November 14 in Munich, Germany. Exhibitors and attendees came from all over the world to be part of this biannual event, and the crowds were strong. For reference, according to show organizer Messe Munchen, the most recent productronica, held in 2021, drew over 19,000 visitors from 68 countries. It's a big show.
The show occupies eight halls and nearly 90,000 square meters, with more than 1,300 exhibitors ready to show their products and services.
I walked the halls and rows as much as I could on this first day, speaking with exhibitors who are excited to be here. Most of the people I spoke with shared enthusiasm for our industry, but when I asked them about the economic outlook, many expressed uncertainties about what’s to come.
We also discussed many other topics, ranging from automation to integrating AI into their factories and workforce development.
I’m looking forward to the tech forums that are focused on these topics, as well as topics surrounding the continued miniaturization of PCBs and the new technologies that will be needed to produce them.
This four-day event concludes on Friday, November 17. I hope you enjoy a collection of photos below from our first day at this global show. Stay tuned for more content as we report from the show floor. We are also activley populating our show site Real Time with... productronia 2023 be sure to check back often.

His latest book, "This Is Strategy: Make Better Plans," reinforces why he’s a beacon for anyone navigating the murky waters of business strategy. As always, Godin challenges the status quo.
