Semiconductors doesn’t yet have a dedicated European tradeshow at Tier A scale – the two qualifying events are both shared with adjacent verticals, reflecting how chip design increasingly shows up inside telco and industrial IoT programming rather than as its own hall.
1Rank
Chip design, edge computing, 5G, IoT connectivity Barcelona 105,000 attendees
The world's largest mobile and connectivity event, with a substantial chip design and edge computing presence alongside its telco core.
Why it is hereBy far the largest audience any semiconductor startup can reach in Europe, though shared with telco and connectivity.
2Rank
Chip design, industrial IoT sensors, power electronics Nuremberg 36,000 attendees
Europe's leading embedded systems tradeshow, with deep chip design and power electronics programming for industrial applications.
Why it is hereThe most focused chip-design audience on the circuit, especially for power electronics and SiC/GaN.
The vertical is below the coverage floor for a dedicated Tier A show – a priority for event sourcing, given the scale of recent European semiconductor rounds (EUCLYD, Fortaegis, TUSK IC) with nowhere purpose-built to exhibit.
Common questions
Is there a dedicated semiconductor tradeshow in Europe?
Not yet at Tier A scale – the closest are MWC Barcelona and embedded world, both shared with adjacent verticals (telco and industrial IoT respectively).
Which event has the best chip-design specific programming?
embedded world in Nuremberg, with a focus on chip design and power electronics for industrial and embedded applications.
