November 10–13, 2026 | Munich, Germany
The electronics industry is moving fast. Artificial intelligence is changing how products are designed and developed. Manufacturers are navigating growing demands for energy efficiency, security, and resilience. And behind every innovation is a supply chain that must keep pace.
From November 10–13, electronica 2026 will bring the global electronics industry together in Munich to explore the technologies, challenges, and opportunities shaping what comes next. Across semiconductors, embedded systems, automotive technology, and electronics manufacturing, the show offers a view of where the industry is heading.
But with so much to see, where should attendees focus? Here’s a guide to the trends worth watching, conversations worth having, and experiences you won’t want to miss.
Three Trends to Watch at electronica 2026
The event’s focus on artificial intelligence, cyber resilience, and energy efficiency reveals challenges that extend well beyond individual technologies.
1. Artificial Intelligence: Moving From Possibility to Practical Impact
AI is reshaping electronics, from intelligent sensors and embedded systems to the way engineers and supply chain teams make decisions. Beyond the technology itself, manufacturers face a practical question: How can AI help people identify risk and act with confidence?
For component management, AI can accelerate part research, surface obsolescence exposure, and help evaluate alternatives. But the quality of a recommendation depends on the data behind it. Incorrect lifecycle information or incomplete compliance records can lead to costly decisions.
What to watch: AI applications that do more than generate answers; solutions that help teams see the evidence, evaluate options, and make informed decisions.
2. Cyber Resilience: Security Extends Beyond the Product
As electronic systems become more connected, cybersecurity becomes a design and operational priority. For engineering and supply chain organizations, resilience also raises questions about how critical technical information is accessed, protected, and maintained.
Defense, aerospace, and other regulated organizations may face cloud restrictions, data-sovereignty obligations, and internal security requirements. These constraints make it essential to provide timely component intelligence without compromising control over sensitive environments.
What to watch: Approaches that balance connected, intelligent systems with requirements for secure data access and operational independence.
3. Energy Efficiency: Innovation Creates New Component Challenges
Advances in power semiconductors, battery management, sensing, and intelligent systems are making energy efficiency a core design priority across multiple industries. Yet greater sophistication can introduce greater sourcing and lifecycle complexity.
A component may meet today’s performance requirements but still create avoidable exposure if it becomes difficult to source or reaches end of life during a long production program. Component availability, compliance, and viable alternatives must be considered alongside performance.
What to watch: Innovations that pair energy performance with manufacturability, long-term availability, and product resilience.
Four Questions Worth Bringing to the Show
- Can we identify component risk before it disrupts production? Look beyond formal end-of-life notices to early lifecycle, compliance, and sourcing signals.
- How much time do teams spend finding and validating part information? Manual searches across datasheets and disconnected sources slow decisions.
- Do engineering and procurement work from the same intelligence? Disconnected PLM, ERP, and sourcing workflows can create conflicting answers.
- Can our data keep pace with more complex designs? Modern assemblies require visibility across electronic and mechanical components.
What to See at Accuris: From Component Data to Better Decisions
At Hall B5, Booth 102, Accuris will demonstrate how engineering and supply chain teams can identify risks earlier, reduce manual research, and make more informed component decisions. Accuris Supply Chain Intelligence draws on 1.3B+ component records with 98%+ verified data accuracy.
Get a Clearer View of BOM Risk
See how BOM Intelligence and the BOM Health Agent help uncover lifecycle, compliance, and sourcing issues across a bill of materials—so teams can investigate exposure before an issue becomes urgent.
Find Trusted Component Answers Faster
Explore how Parts Intelligence brings technical specifications, manufacturer information, lifecycle status, compliance details, and alternates together to support faster component research and evaluation.
Bring Component Intelligence Into Existing Workflows
Learn how Accuris Connect makes verified parts and BOM intelligence accessible through APIs and integrations, helping teams make decisions within the engineering and supply chain systems they already use.
Explore Component Intelligence Behind the Firewall
See how Accuris Supply Chain Intelligence On-Prem supports organizations with security, connectivity, or data-sovereignty requirements by making component intelligence available within customer-controlled environments.
Catch Accuris on Stage
Two sessions will explore how organizations can recognize supply chain and obsolescence exposure earlier—before it becomes a production problem.

ACTIVE ≠ LOW RISK: Finding Geopolitical and Obsolescence Risk Before the EOL Notice
Hall B4, Stand B4.445 | Speaker: Greg Jaknunas, Senior Director, Product Development, Supply Chain, Accuris
An “Active” component status does not guarantee low risk. Explore the geopolitical, sourcing, lifecycle, and compliance signals that may indicate growing vulnerability before a formal end-of-life notice.
