The much-anticipated PCIM Asia 2020 will open its door on 16 November in Shanghai. The fair continues to serve as the industry’s vital tool for knowledge exchange, business collaboration and marketing. The upcoming three-day show will see leading domestic and international companies present the latest trends and innovations of power electronics through an array of thematic zones as well as during a conference and forums.

PCIM Asia, one of the most significant business events for power electronics in Asia, will take place from 16 – 18 November 2020 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center. As the leading show in the power electronics industry, PCIM Asia attracts top brands and exciting start-ups all looking to grow their businesses. This year, around 70 exhibitors will present cutting-edge trends, developments and product innovations for all applications of power electronics on an exhibition area of 7,000 square metres. Some of the biggest brands in the industry will exhibit at the fair, including Mitsubishi, Semikron, Fuji Electric, Infineon, Beijing Sunking, Bronze, CRRC, Hangzhou Firstack, Heraeus, Keysight, Shanghai Eagtop, Toshiba and Wuxi CRE New Energy. In addition, this year’s fair will debut the Korean Pavilion, organised by the Korea Semiconductor Industry Association (KSIA). Five Korean companies including Busan Techno Park Foundation, JMJ, PowerCubeSemi, SemiPowerEx and SIGETRONICS will display advanced semiconductor technologies and products.

To further enhance the experience for the fair’s visitors and exhibitors, PCIM Asia will once again feature a range of thematic zones which shine a light on key areas of the development of power electronics. These thematic zones include the E-mobility Zone, Poster Session Area (part of the Conference), Newcomer Pavilion and University Zone. Covering the complete spectrum of power electronics, from power semiconductor components and modules, electrical devices, passive components and thermal management to test and measurement, the fair will cater to everyone’s sourcing needs.
