For the InnoElectro Grand Prix founded by NESH, exhibitors can nominate one of their products, which will be presented at the InnoElectro Fair. It can be the exhibitor's own development or even marketed devices, equipment, or any product, software, or service. The point is that it should be an innovative solution that helps some area of the electronics industry in a forward-looking way. The applicant must explain the innovation of the product.
The IPC, which recently changed its name to the Global Electronics Association, traditionally organize the regional qualification of Hand Soldering Competition in Hungary at the InnoElectro Exhibition. The competition task is to hand soldering a circuit board featuring highly complex, very small components within 60 minutes. We are becoming increasingly accustomed to tiny components in our daily lives. Time is a major challenge. Within the time limit, 10–15% of participants usually manage to complete a functional workpiece. This year was no different. At the same time, this year’s competition was not without some moments of drama.
The competition took place at the Innoelectro exhibition and conference. It was third in Europe, after similar events in the United Kingdom and France, and we can say it was a great success. Four Hungarian companies—Silveria Kft., Cabtech Kft., ACSG Kft., and Kuka Kft.—entered a total of 12 participants in the competition.
MELT (National Electronics Society of Hungary) has now presented its hand soldering competition for high schools for the fifth time. The goal of the competition is to help students better understand soldering as a fundamental technology in electronics manufacturing, to increase their interest in soldering, and to bring them in closer connection to the electronics industry. The Innoelectro exhibition and conference consider highly importance to introduce the electronics industry to the future generation. What would be better occasion for this than the region’s premier professional event?
