Carbon neutrality: The core of future development in the electronics industry

The development of third-generation semiconductors, led by materials like gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC), plays a pivotal role in supporting the realization of China's "dual carbon" goals and a highly intelligent, digital and electrified society. The rapid development of new energy vehicles, PV and energy storage has paved the way for the application of third-generation semiconductors in high-power scenarios and also brought a new platform for them. This year's exhibition hosted several forums, including the "2024 Innovation Forum on the Advanced Power Semiconductors Technology and Industry Chain," the "2024 Innovation Forum on Energy Storage Technology," the "Wide-Bandgap Forum 2024," and the "International Motor Drive and Control Technology Forum 2024." These events provided a comprehensive analysis of the long development path towards carbon neutrality.

Kai Niu, sales and marketing Director of Hestia Power International Pte. Ltd. said:“This year’s electronica China is as hot as the blazing weather, with high enthusiasm from upstream and downstream suppliers, and we hope to find new opportunities and products through this exhibition. For the electronics industry, I think electronica China is a benchmark. We aim to deepen our cooperation with electronica China and use this platform to promote our brand and products to serve more customers.”

Artificial intelligence: A stage showcasing cutting-edge technologies transforming future life

Recently, there has been an endless stream of new wearable products. Galaxy Ring, OnePlus Watch 2 and the newly launched Vision Pro have made health functions a must-have. The convergence of generative AI is accelerating, bringing new vitality to the smart wearable market. At electronica China 2024, several related forums were held, including the "International Embedded System Innovation Forum," the "Industrial Internet of Things (IoT): Leading the Future – AIoT Innovation Application Forum," the "2024 Computing Power Technology Ecology Conference," the "International Medical Electronics Innovation Forum," and the "2024 Forum on the Development of Intelligent Manufacturing Industry." These forums provided in-depth discussions on the multifaceted development of artificial intelligence.

Zhen Zhu, marketing manager of Industrial Automation Industry of Analog Devices referred:” The number of visitors and exhibitors can manifest how popular the current electronica China is. The scale, level, and visitors’ engagement of electronica China have been significantly improved. We hope to continue cooperating with electronica China in the future!”
