Today, the Elecomp 2024 International Exhibition, featuring prominent domestic and international companies and startups in e-commerce, computers, and electronics, opened in Tehran. With a history dating back to 1990, Elecomp continues to be the largest ICT exhibition in Iran, playing a significant role in strengthening the country’s information and communications technology industry.
A Brief History of Elecomp
Initially known as the “International Exhibition of Computers, Electricity, Electronics, and Communications” and held in an inflatable tent, Elecomp evolved into its current form focusing on computers and e-commerce after the electrical and telecommunications sectors branched off into independent exhibitions. Since 2000, Elecomp has been organized with private sector participation, and in the past four years, the Iran Computer Trade Organization has been responsible for its organization.

During a pre-opening press conference, Reza Heydari, the secretary of Elecomp 2024, introduced the various sections of this year’s exhibition. He highlighted the addition of two new segments, “Elecomp Commerce” and “Elecomp Insurance,” emphasizing the significant efforts to enhance the exhibition’s content. This year, around 500 private companies and startups from countries such as France, Russia, Germany, Japan, Turkey, and South Korea are showcasing their products.
