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.
