Thursday, February 20, 2014: Finally, the day is here. EFY Expo 2014, the much-awaited electronics show, kick-starts in Delhi today. EFY Expo has proven to be the only show that brings the entire electronics industry under one roof.
EFY Expo is known for bringing new elements each year since its inception. This year is no different. EFY Expo 2014 is introducing a conference on LED manufacturing. With LED lighting gaining popularity, the demand for LEDs is bound to increase many-fold in the coming years. So this is the right time to start thinking of their manufacture in India in larger numbers. Of course, all the previous features of the Expo are being retained. Such as, a ‘live’ SMT line, like last year; a section devoted to test and measurement equipment; the second edition of ‘eRocks’ with a special demo showcase pavilion; and the CEO Conclave and Buyer-Seller Meets. Besides, there will be a seminar on ‘How to sell to the government and best practices in public procurement.’
Speaking about the show, Ramesh Chopra, executive chairman, EFY Group says, “Designed to contribute towards making India an important manufacturing hub, EFY EXPO is one of our sincere efforts and commitments towards the industry. This year, we are fortunate to get the support of the Department of Telecommunications, Ministry of Communications & IT, Government of India, besides the support of the Department of Electronics and IT (DeitY). Of course, ELCINA continues to be our valuable ‘Exhibition & Knowledge’ partner since the inception of EFY Expo. The support of NSIC, in particular, has been found very valuable by some of the exhibitors in EFY Expo; so we are glad NSIC has supported us this year too.
There are many more who have been contributing to the success of EFY Expo as partners and sponsors. Being primarily a media house ourselves, we highly value the support extended to us by our valued media partners also. We are grateful to all our partners and sponsors for their support in making EFY Expo a fruitful exercise in the promotion of the electronics industry and in building a complete ecosystem in India, comprising innovation, design, manufacture and sourcing. Our vision of having an Indian electronics exhibition that we can all be proud of seems to be taking shape, slowly but steadily. Of course, a lot more needs to be done, which we would definitely like to do with your continued support. The EFY Expo being an indigenous initiative, we are sure you would like to make it your first choice in India.” The EFY Expo 2014 is being organised at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, from 20 to 22 February.
