As industries across the globe move steadily toward electrification, digital transformation and intelligent infrastructure, the importance of electronics within the power and energy ecosystem has grown significantly.
Today, electronics is no longer confined to consumer devices or computing systems alone. It has become a critical enabler for sectors such as energy management, electric mobility, smart manufacturing, automation and industrial infrastructure.
The exhibition will take place from 26–28 August, 2026 at Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre and is expected to attract more than 300 exhibitors along with over 7,000 industry professionals from more than 40 countries.
Unlike conventional electronics-focused trade exhibitions, THECA 2026 aims to reflect the growing convergence between electronics technologies and industrial power applications. As sectors such as renewable energy, EV infrastructure, industrial automation and smart grids continue to expand, the demand for advanced electronics solutions has become more pronounced across the electrical industry.
The exhibition will showcase technologies spanning the complete electronics value chain, offering visitors insight into how these innovations are shaping modern industrial ecosystems.
The event covers the full value chain:
- PCB and high-reliability circuit design
- Power electronics and advanced components
- PCB assembly (PCBA) and EMS for industrial and energy applications
- Semiconductor and advanced packaging
- Automation, control systems, and intelligent manufacturing
For professionals operating within the electrical and energy sectors, the exhibition is expected to provide a deeper understanding of how advanced electronics are driving next-generation power systems, energy-efficient infrastructure and industrial automation.
One of the key attractions at the event will be the Power2Motion zone, which will focus on the increasing integration of electronics within mobility and energy applications. As electric mobility and decentralised energy systems continue to gain momentum globally, the zone is expected to showcase technologies that are becoming central to the future of transportation and intelligent energy management.
The zone features innovations in:
- Electric vehicle (EV) systems and powertrain electronics
- Battery technologies and energy storage systems
- Power conversion and thermal management
- Smart connectivity, sensors, and control systems
These technologies are expected to hold strong relevance for professionals associated with motors and drives, converters, charging infrastructure, smart grids and distributed energy systems.
Thailand itself continues to emerge as an important manufacturing and supply chain hub within Southeast Asia, particularly across electronics, automotive and energy-related sectors. Supported by government-backed investment initiatives and industrial policies, the country has steadily strengthened its ecosystem for electronics production, semiconductor manufacturing and EV supply chains.
The country offers:
- Established PCB and EMS manufacturing capabilities
- Growing semiconductor and advanced electronics ecosystem
- Strategic location for ASEAN distribution and exports
- Integration with automotive and EV supply chains
With industries increasingly shifting toward electrified and digitally connected systems, Thailand’s role in supporting regional industrial growth and infrastructure development is expected to expand further in the coming years.
Beyond the exhibition floor, THECA 2026 will also function as a business networking and knowledge-sharing platform aimed at encouraging collaboration across industries and markets. The event is expected to host industry leaders, policymakers, manufacturers, OEMs, suppliers and technology providers under one roof.
Key features include:
- The Board of Investment of Thailand (BOI) Forum: Policy insights on investment, energy transition, and industrial development
- International conferences (50+ sessions) covering AI, semiconductors, EV, and advanced manufacturing
- Business matching programmes connecting suppliers, OEMs, and system integrators
- Technical seminars and networking sessions
- Factory tours and buyer programmes
According to the organisers, the previous edition facilitated more than 500 business matching meetings and generated an estimated trade value of USD 560 million, underlining the exhibition’s growing commercial significance within the region.
Another notable feature of the upcoming edition will be the Workforce Pavilion, which aims to address the growing importance of skilled talent in advanced manufacturing and digital industrial operations. As industries adopt automation, AI and intelligent energy systems at a faster pace, workforce readiness is increasingly becoming a critical factor for sustainable industrial growth.
THECA 2026 introduces the Workforce Pavilion, focusing on:
- Industry-ready engineering talent
- Collaboration between academia and industry
- International certification standards such as IPC
- Skills development aligned with real industrial needs
For companies operating across electronics, power and manufacturing sectors, the pavilion is expected to provide insight into regional talent development initiatives and future workforce capabilities.
As the boundaries between electronics, power systems and energy technologies continue to merge, THECA 2026 is expected to offer industry stakeholders a valuable platform to explore emerging technologies, build strategic partnerships and identify new opportunities across Asia’s rapidly evolving industrial ecosystem.
