The IPC Electronics Assembly Masters Competition, established in 2010, attracts participants from core sectors of the electronics manufacturing industry, including defense, aerospace, rail transportation, automotive electronics, communications, and consumer electronics.

Introduced in France for the first time, the Cable & Wire Harness Competition (CWH) will take place during Global Industrie 2026 in Paris Nord Villepinte. This competition invites skilled technicians and harness assembly specialists to demonstrate their expertise in wire preparation, crimping, splicing, and assembly, all in accordance with the requirements of IPC/WHMA-A-620, the consensus industry standard for cable and wire harness assemblies.

At this exhibition, the Global Electronics Association joins forces with key industry partners in wire harness manufacturing and soldering equipment technologies, integrating the internationally recognized IPC training and certification programs to create a cross-disciplinary joint showcase. In addition to presenting advanced process equipment and critical interconnection technologies, the pavilion features a live CFX (Connected Factory Exchange) smart manufacturing demonstration line, illustrating real-time machine connectivity, data exchange, and digitalized production management within electronics manufacturing environments. Through this joint exhibition, the Association aims to accelerate the convergence of industry standards, workforce development, and intelligent manufacturing, driving the electronics industry toward greater efficiency, traceability, and sustainable growth.
