HKPCA hosts the 22nd annual International Electronics Circuit Exhibition (Shenzhen) (HKPCA Show), Dec. 4-6, at the Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center (Bao’an) in Halls 5, 6, 7, and 8. With more than 600 global brands and emerging companies, it is one of the world's largest gatherings for the circuit board and electronic assembly industry. The theme of the event is "AI Powers the Future." It will focus on AI, high-end PCBs, high-performance materials, smart automation, and other hot topics. It will showcase innovative processes and technologies across the PCB and PCBA industry chain, bringing together global elites and resources to drive ongoing development.
We recently spoke with the show’s organizers to discuss show highlights and future industry trends.
Edy Yu: Please introduce the theme of this year’s exhibition and its significance for our industry.
HKPCA: With the continuous progress of artificial intelligence, the industry is facing an urgent need for transformation and upgrade. To reflect the trend, this year’s exhibition theme is "AI Powers the Future." In this context, manufacturers can improve production efficiency, optimize resource allocation, and facilitate intelligent management utilizing AI technology. This not only meets the market's demand for smart products but also helps companies maintain a competitive edge globally. "AI Powers the Future" represents a proactive response to technology trends and serves as a strategic guide for the future of the industry.
What are the highlights of this year's exhibition in terms of exhibitor lineup, audience size, and internationalization?
This will be our 22nd year of the show. With the wave of AI advancements, the exhibition will be on an even larger scale with a very strong lineup of exhibitors who will showcase an even more extensive breadth of products. This will attract more attendees from the PCB, PCBA, and end-manufactor industries.
The exhibition will use Halls 5, 6, 7, and 8 of Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center (Bao’an), covering an exhibition area of 80,000 square meters, with seven major pavillions to comprehensively display the latest products and technologies across the PCB and PCBA industry chain.
This year’s exhibition brings together over 600 top global brands, with more than 70 first-time exhibitors and over 3,500 booths. Notable exhibitors include TTM, JOVE-Juchen Circuit, Topsearch, Shenzhen SprintPCB, LM Electronics, Schmoll, ADVANCED MICRO, Lian Qun, Dawn Sun, Protek, C Sun, YSPHOTEC, TZTEK, KSDW, Fang Tai, World Wide Group, BAIKAL, UCE Group, MACHVISION, CFMEE, JIEJUN ELECTRONICS, SCREEN, KLA, LST, SAA, WKK, Zhen Tianwei, HARWAR ChemoTech, SHINBU, Asian Electroplating, VEGA, Kingboard, GHTECH, XACT, YAYA Technology, KUANGSHUN, CHEON WESTERN, Carl Zeiss, OPTON, Amiba, KPEA and more.
How have you approached international business cooperation and globalization this year?
Last year’s exhibition attracted attendees from 44 countries and regions. This year, we are actively collaborating with overseas medium, international organizations, and related institutions to increase the exhibition’s visibility and appeal in the global market.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
10/31/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Last week, the IMPACT conference took place in Taipei, bringing together advanced packaging experts from around the globe to share their knowledge. We’ll be bringing you post-conference coverage over the next few weeks, so look for that in our newsletters, and in the Advanced Electronic Packaging Digest. Other news seemed to have the U.S. at the center of the global discussions. My picks start in Phoenix, where TSMC, NVIDIA, and Amkor are all scrambling to establish new capabilities. There’s nothing like a strong demand signal to cause build-out, and AI chips are doing exactly that.

Better Sustainability Policies for Electronics
10/29/2025 | Diana Radovan, Global Electronics AssociationI joined the Global Electronics Association in August 2025 as the director of sustainability policy. Since then, much has happened in terms of geopolitics and in the development and re-envisioning of sustainability policies in the industry. While the European Commission has released several legislative packages to simplify sustainability requirements (“omnibus”), these developments haven’t yet settled and are not in effect. Given the many recent and ongoing public consultations, with often conflicting input from a broad range of stakeholders, final negotiations remain rather polarized among policymakers.

Come Together: Tom Marktscheffel Used Data to Build CFX and a Global Factory Standard
10/27/2025 | Sandy Gentry, Community MagazineWhen Tom Marktscheffel, director of product management software solutions at ASMPT, looks back on his nearly three decades in electronics manufacturing, one word stands out: data. “Data is the new gold,” he says. Without it, automation, artificial intelligence, and the factory of the future are impossible. With it, the industry can move from manual, error-prone processes to smart, connected systems that make real-time decisions.
