PCIM Europe – Leading trade fair for power electronics, intelligent drive technology, renewable energy, and energy management

Innovations for the future of energy and the electrification of industrial processes

PCIM Europe (Power Conversion and Intelligent Motion) in Nuremberg is the leading international trade fair for power electronics and its applications – and is considered the central platform for companies and experts active in areas such as energy efficiency, electromobility, Industry 4.0, robotics, and decentralized power supply. With a highly specialized field of exhibitors and an equally renowned technical conference, PCIM Europe is much more than just a product show: it is an industry meeting place, technology driver, and knowledge forum all at once. Every year, more than 500 exhibitors and over 12,000 trade visitors from all over the world come to the Nuremberg Exhibition Center to find out about the latest trends and applications.

From components to complete systems: the whole world of power electronics

The focus of the trade fair is on electronic components and system solutions for the efficient conversion, distribution, and use of electrical energy—a topic that is becoming increasingly important in almost every industry. The exhibition areas cover, among other things:

• Power semiconductors and modules
• Passive components (e.g., chokes, capacitors, heat sinks)
• Magnetic materials, connection technology
• Sensors, control and regulation technology
• Power supply solutions
• Battery systems and storage technology
• Intelligent drive and motion control systems
• Electromobility components and infrastructure
• Energy management and grid stabilization technologies
• Measurement technology, software, development tools

Congress and trade fair: research meets practice

A unique feature of PCIM Europe is the close integration of the trade fair and scientific congress. The PCIM Europe Congress is one of the world's most prestigious events in the field of power electronics and brings together experts from industry and science. Key topics:

• Wide bandgap technologies (SiC, GaN)
• Advanced packaging and new cooling methods
• Increased efficiency in drive systems
• DC grids and power-to-X
• Energy storage solutions and integration into the power grid
• Simulation and modeling
• Power electronics for e-mobility and smart grids

Hot topics: e-mobility, decarbonization, digitalization

The electrification of mobility, the conversion of industrial processes to CO₂-neutral energy supply, and the intelligent control of decentralized energy flows are overarching trends that are reflected in numerous areas of the trade fair. This is particularly evident in solutions for:

• Charging infrastructure for electric vehicles
• DC/DC converters with high power density
• High-voltage inverters for automotive applications
• Power electronics solutions for hydrogen production and use
• Bidirectional energy technology for grid feed-back

Start-ups and new ideas

Another highlight is the Start-up Area, where young companies present their developments – from innovative power ICs to disruptive simulation software. This promotes exchange between young technology pioneers and established industry players.

Networking and international business development

PCIM Europe is traditionally a meeting place for decision-makers from development, purchasing, R&D, project management, and strategy. International market leaders and specialized niche providers find qualified business contacts, application dialogs on an equal footing, and inspiration for new partnerships here.

PCIM Europe – Control center for the power supply of the future

At a time when electrification and energy efficiency are key issues in all industries, PCIM Europe is becoming increasingly important. It not only showcases the current state of the art, but also opens up concrete perspectives for a sustainable, digital, and networked energy future.
