Consortium of Electronic Industries of Karnataka (CLIK) was established in 1982 with a vision `To promote and serve a vibrant electronic industry in Karnataka'. With a more than 250 members and catering to the over 1200 electronic industries on our data base, CLIK has emerged as the single most committed industry level organization representing the electronic industry in Karnataka. The member industries range from small-scale units to well-established large units manufacturing a variety of products including components, instrumentation products, computer hardware, defense and strategic electronics.

CLIK is actively involved in hardware trade development by organising seminars and workshops, CLIKTRONIKA - the annual electronics and IT exhibition, joint participation in International exhibitions like `Electronica', Munich, Export promotion activities and publishing CLIKNET - the electronics network in the State of Karnataka. These events, based on matters related to Electronics and IT, are aimed at assisting SME's to gear for today's global market place.

CLIKTRONIKA - "Integrating the Buyer-Seller Circuit"

Organised by CLIK, CLIKTRONIKA 2005, is the 6th edition of the annual exhibition that showcases India's prowess in the Electronic and IT hardware industry. Recognising the huge potential of the $160 billion hardware market, CLIK has set out an ambitious plan for the next 3 years to tap this potential, through CLIKTRONIKA. CLIKTRONIKA is designed, and promoted as a Buyer-Seller platform which will bring together OEM/MNC buyers and manufacturers of electronic components, sub-assemblies and equipment in a fruitful, mutually beneficial association.

Many MNC's are setting up IPO's (International Procurement Office) in the Asia region and this provides an excellent opportunity to Indian companies, especially in the SME sector, to create an awareness on the capabilities that exists in the Indian electronic sector.

CLIKTRONIKA will therefore have as it's theme "Integrating the Buyer-Seller Circuit" and this is planned as an anuual event to be organized as a Buyer-Seller Meet for the next 3 years, from 2005 - 2008.
