productronica 2027 is scheduled for 16 to 19 November 2027 at Messe München, Germany. Organised by Messe München, productronica is a biennial trade fair covering the entire electronics manufacturing chain — from PCB and assembly to cabling, test, automation and production software.
Indian professionals travelling to attend generally need a Schengen Business Visa (short-stay, Type C) for Germany. A confirmed trade-visitor ticket and an invitation or confirmation letter from the organiser or a German business partner support the application.
