In wake of the pandemic situation and travel restrictions, Messe Muenchen India has decided to shift its concurrent shows at Bangalore International Exhibition Centre in Bengaluru to December 16 - 18, 2021. The decision was taken keeping in view the feedback received from the industry stakeholders including exhibitors, buyers and key partners.

The 2021 edition of the show will take place in hybrid mode giving seamless integrated experiences of online as well as “at the venue”. Commenting on the development, Bhupinder Singh, CEO, Messe Muenchen India, said, “Considering the current pandemic situation, December seems to be a better option to conduct the trade shows. It further enables us to provide a new platform for exhibitors and visitors to meet each other face-to-face and online and get back to business in a conducive and safe environment.”

Adding to Singh’s views, Dr Reinhard Pfeiffer, Deputy Chairman, Messe München GmbH said, “We support the decision to reschedule the events. We are also happy with the new extended platforms coming up. They offer the opportunity to reconnect, network and drive business for the electronic community despite the pandemic.”

To this added, Rajoo Goel, Secretary General, Electronic Industries Association of India (ELCINA), “As the industry is witnessing a gradual recovery, safety remains our prime concern. The decision to postpone the events comes at the right time to ensure a safer environment for participants and deliver greater value for all stakeholders.”
