This three-day event celebrated its 30th anniversary, featuring 435 exhibitors and attracting over 11,700 visitors over the three days. Compared to 2025, both the number of unique visitors and total visits saw year-on-year growth. The exhibition floor was notably busier, with a vibrant atmosphere across all halls.
The exhibition opened on May 19, bringing together engineers, R&D experts, procurement professionals, and senior executives from around the world to discuss technologies, collaborations, and strategies for the future of electrification. Portfolio Director Melissa Magestro, together with the CWIEME Berlin Advisory Board and Hyve Group leadership, co-hosted the ribbon-cutting ceremony. During the opening ceremony, it was also announced that a new "Grid Delivery Summit" will be launched at CWIEME Berlin 2027, focusing on accelerating grid infrastructure development.
Over the three days, attendees participated in the agendas of the Central Grid and Motor Forums, covering topics such as digitalization and smart grids, motors at a crossroads, decarbonization of the copper value chain, material innovation, and navigating geopolitical risks. Wind energy pioneer Henrik Stiesdal delivered a keynote speech on the first day. He admitted it was his first time attending the exhibition and expressed shame for that, promising to return in the future. He emphasized that gathering insightful people and generating outcomes through dialogue can surpass the sum of individual efforts, affirming the value of the event.
Held concurrently with the exhibition, the EEMODS conference also celebrated its 30th anniversary, focusing on improving the efficiency of motors, drives, and motor-driven systems.
The C-Suite Club, successfully launched in 2025, was held again, providing a strategic discussion platform for senior industry leaders. The venue was fully booked, with representatives from the European Commission, the European Committee of Manufacturers of Electrical Machines and Power Electronics (CEMEP), the European Pump Association (EUROPUMP), the German Energy Agency (DENA), and other organizations in attendance. The Transmission & Distribution Club and the Innovation Zone also remained popular destinations.
Nicola Bortolamei, General Manager of Barberi Electric, stated that CWIEME Berlin is an ideal place to connect with potential customers, suppliers, and competitors. Over the years, he has built long-term relationships with clients and suppliers, making the event significant for his business.
The third day focused on the industry's future, featuring exclusive sessions for "Future Engineers" and "Women in Engineering." Students, graduates, and young professionals networked with industry leaders to gain insights into careers in electrical engineering and manufacturing.
The third day also hosted the CWIEME Awards ceremony. Raj Manoj Bag received the Future Engineer Award; Green Lead Market – Transformers (AGGLS) won the Sustainability & Leadership Award; Hecht AG was awarded Product of the Year for PrecisOR; Dr. Yali Feng received the Engineer of the Year Award; and Giampiero Pari was inducted into the CWIEME Hall of Fame for his lifetime contributions.
Melissa Magestro commented that from crowded aisles and busy booths to meaningful business conversations, new partnerships, and product launches, CWIEME Berlin once again proved its role as the global gathering place for the electrical manufacturing community to connect, innovate, and conduct business.
By the end of the exhibition, over 80% of 2026 exhibitors had already rebooked their stands for 2027, solidifying its position as a hub for the global electrical engineering and manufacturing supply chain.
