For the first time extending over six exhibition halls and 41,500 m² of exhibition space, the event brought together big industry names to drive forward technological developments and unleash the full potential of power electronics. With 685 exhibitors and around 16,500 visitors, this year’s exhibition was once more a resounding success. Underscoring the event’s global relevance was the strong international presence of exhibiting companies, 62% of which came from outside of Germany – a new record. Besides promoting international dialog, this gave attendees a comprehensive overview of the global market.
433 high-caliber presentations on the latest research topics gave the 818 attendees from 26 countries the chance to delve deeper into the world of power electronics and discover and discuss the latest research findings and technological advances.
Varied supporting program offering concentrated expertise
All three days of the exhibition were accompanied by a highly focused, specialized program of presentations covering current topics in the industry, such as decarbonization.
Across the three stages of the PCIM Expo, attendees were able to discover more about solutions for electromobility and energy storage, product innovations, and research progress, and speak directly to the experts. The varied presentations also demonstrated the broad applicability of power electronics across numerous industries, including industrial electronics, automation, and drive systems.
The strong response was reflected in the positive atmosphere: “The company has been exhibiting here for 20 years for the simple reason that we think that PCIM is one of the most important exhibitions for power electronics in the world. We’ve checked fairs in other countries, but we’ve not found any equivalent to the PCIM. This Expo has a deep, uncompromising focus on power electronics. And even after 20 years, we continue to meet new contacts within the community whether customers, leads, suppliers or engineers – they’re all here over three inspiring days – year after year!” as Karim Zaibat, Business Manager, Cefem Industries, stated.
This sentiment was echoed by Thomas Neyer, Senior Vice President, Infineon Technologies: “The PCIM is much more than a conference - it offers space for dialog, international partnerships and innovative forms of collaboration across company boundaries.”
Focus on industry trends: Current challenges and practical solutions
This year’s PCIM Expo & Conference once again addressed key topics that are impacting the entire power electronics industry, such as improving energy efficiency, system integration, and the increased use of new semiconductor materials.
The event offered both industrial and scientific perspectives and demonstrated how research and practice work hand in hand to translate current challenges into innovative solutions.
Pietro Scalia, Sr. Director, Renesas Electronics added: “Our time at the PCIM is full of highlights – expected and unexpected ones! For us at Renesas, it is three days of valuable encounters starting at breakfast, all through the day and going on well into the evening. Networking, chance meetings, the opportunity to solve tangible problems and tackle prevalent issues – this is important for the power electronics community to move the technical and business progress of our industry forward. We have taken the opportunity to showcase our power solutions for the new trends in data center at the conference – the PCIM is an ideal arena to present fresh ideas and challenge yourself against competitors. The result is that the industry, as a whole, learns and grows.”
This combined expo and conference gave participants an overview of current developments and fostered an intensive dialog between developers. Specific solutions were discussed and new ideas developed to drive technology forward and address the market requirements of the future. The event once again emphasized the potential of power electronics as a key technology for the future in areas such as the energy transition, e-mobility, and Industry 4.0.
PCIM Conference 2025: Key platform for technological innovations
The PCIM Conference provided the ideal platform to deepen these discussions and present the latest research findings and technological innovations. Many of the presentations and sessions presented theoretical and practical approaches, positioning power electronics as the driving force behind major topics of the future. With their high-caliber keynotes, Dushan Boroyevich (Virginia Tech), Michael Harrison (Enphase Energy) and Johann W. Kolar (ETH Zurich) provided valuable impetus for the future of the industry. They joined numerous experts from around the world to offer new perspectives on the evolution of power electronics. The conference therefore not only promoted the transfer of knowledge and technology, but also provided valuable impetus for the future design of key technologies.
Year-round platform for innovation and networking in power electronics
The PCIM – Hub for Power Electronics facilitates networking and knowledge transfer in the field of power electronics beyond the PCIM Expo & Conference 2025. Offering a combination of digital formats and networking events, the hub is a year-round platform that gives experts worldwide ongoing access to the latest trends, technologies, and solutions in such key areas as sustainability, digitalization, and miniaturization. Lisette Hausser, Vice President: “The PCIM – Hub for Power Electronics connects the international power electronics community across national borders. By offering formats such as the PCIM Magazine, PCIM After Work Events, and the PCIM News Platform via the hub, we can play a role in driving innovation and the continuous development of the industry.”
