The second annual Electronics Manufacturing & Interconnection (IEMI) trade show, held in Chennai and Pune, India, welcomed more than 1,000 participants, including 30 international delegates from more than 10 countries, for two days of skills challenges, business-to-business meetings, panel discussions, special addresses from subject matter experts, and a keynote speech from IPC President and CEO John W.

Supported by the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology, the government of India, state governments of Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra, and Indian and International Industry Associations, iIMI hosted electronics manufacturers, designers, traders, suppliers, service providers, and technical experts to explore new business partnerships, gain technical knowledge, and to source products and services.

In addition, a vendor development program was held in Pune, with representatives from Siemens meeting with wire harness manufacturers in efforts to expand their supply chain.
In Chennai, Ar Rm Arun, president, Southern India Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SICCI), welcomed the delegates, while Ramachandran Natarajan, managing director, Mel Systems and Services, delivered the vote of thanks. Both speakers highlighted the growth of electronics manufacturing in the state of Tamil Nadu and the need for cooperation between associations to develop strong industry partnerships to encourage further development in the state.
In Pune, delegates were welcomed by Prashant Girbane, director general, Mahratta Chamber of Commerce Industries and Agriculture (MCCIA), who emphasized the importance of Pune’s contributions to the Indian economy. He was joined by Aditya Paranjpe, chairperson, MCCIA’s Electronics Committee, who discussed MCCIA’s role in developing the electronics manufacturing sector of the region.
