The PCIM Europe has been held annually in Nuremberg since 1979 and has since established itself as the leading event for power electronics, intelligent motion, renewable energy and energy management. The exhibiting companies represent the entire spectrum of the industry and present their latest product innovations to trade visitors on an annual basis. In addition to the top-class lecture program of the Exhibitor, Industry and E-mobility forum, the event highlights include special exhibition areas that focus on current industry trends.

This year, for example, trade visitors can look forward to the "Batteries & More - Energy Storage Pavilion", the "E-Mobility Area" and the "U.S. Pavilion". Meeting point for experts: International conference At the international conference, highly qualified speakers from science and industry will be presenting the latest research results and innovations. Participants can look forward to an extensive program of over 300 keynotes, oral and poster presentations, and special sessions.
