This year’s show features a range of new programmes, along with the return of last year’s most popular ones.
Women in Engineering and Connect @ CWIEME Programmes Return
Making a return is the Women in Engineering programme, which brings together women across the industry to exchange insights, discuss shared challenges and grow their professional networks.
Also back for 2025 is Connect @ CWIEME, the data-powered connection event which facilitated 2,800 meaningful interactions between exhibitors and attendees during the 2024 show. Connect @ CWIEME helps engineering, procurement and R&D professionals sit down with the electrical engineering industry suppliers they need.
Future Engineers and Country Pavilions to Inspire and Connect
After last year’s success, the Future Engineers programme will continue working towards the goal of bridging the talent gap. Sessions on careers, networking and skill development, combined with guided tours and an industry meet and greet will help to empower and inspire the next generation of engineers.
The Country Pavilions return for 2025, offering a chance to meet the most significant industry contacts for each part of the globe — this year sees a Swiss Pavilion for the first time. This pavilion highlights next-generation solutions designed to enhance efficiency, sustainability and resilience in modern energy infrastructure.
Focus On Electric Motors and Sustainability at CWIEME Berlin
This year sees significant focus on shaping electric motors for a zero-carbon economy. An exclusive discussion-led workshop on June 3 will bring together the entire electric motor value chain, from materials suppliers to manufacturers to end users. The session will tackle topics like circular economy models, energy efficiency and digitalisation, and will include policymakers, regulatory experts and research institutions.
Academic Excellence Hub Supports Research and Innovation
Research and academia are also big themes this year and 2025 sees the launch of the Academic Excellence Hub. A dedicated exhibition area for universities, research centres and academic innovators, the Academic Hub provides opportunities to exhibit research, network and promote career and internship opportunities.
Social Events and Networking Opportunities Enhance the Experience
The event promises a strong social element as well. To help visitors settle in, the opening Community Welcome Party will be a relaxed networking evening with complimentary drinks and food after the first day of the show.
Guests can enjoy daily happy hours at the Beer Garden, between 16:00 and 17:00, where they can unwind, socialise and enjoy a range of food and drinks.
Exclusive Clubs Offer Focused Discussions and Networking
Two new clubs will debut this year. The C Suite Club has a tailored agenda covering transformers, electric motors and emerging technologies, where participants will engage in high-impact conversations under the Chatham House Rule to ensure open dialogue.
Meanwhile, the Power Transmission & Distribution Club offers TSOs, grid operators and OEMs dedicated sessions on grid innovation, networking opportunities and an exclusive lounge.
