CWIEME Berlin, the world’s largest event for the coil winding, electric motor, transformer, generator and e-mobility supply chain, has revealed the first wave of industry leaders sharing their expertise at this year’s event. Taking place at Messe Berlin from June 3–5, the show will bring together some of the brightest minds in electrical engineering and address six urgent industry themes.
In a first for the 6,700+ visitor footfall event, Franziska Giffey, Mayor of Berlin and Senator for Economic Affairs, Energy and Public Enterprises, will deliver a keynote on Berlin’s role in Europe’s green industrial transformation. Also, Helen Watts, Executive Director of Student Energy and Forbes 30 Under 30 honouree, will challenge the industry to think radically about the next generation of engineers.
Meanwhile, Marcel Hilgers of thyssenkrupp Electrical Steel, Christina Iosifidou of Siemens Energy Grid Technologies, Claudio Vittori and Michael Southcott of S&P Global Mobility, Milo Boers of McKinsey & Company, Dr. Adriana Encinas-Oropesa from Cranfield University, Cécile Deprez of German Aerospace Centre (DLR), Matthew Lamb of Turntide Technologies and many more industry leaders will explore the practical steps necessary to develop an increasingly electrified world.
The 2025 programme is built around six core themes that reflect where the industry is heading — and where it is stuck. The themes are ‘Global market trends and challenges’; ‘Advancements in electrical and mechanical engineering and automation’; ‘Sustainability and energy efficiency’; ‘Manufacturing technologies and innovations’; ‘Industry 4.0 and digitalisation’; and ‘Diversity and inclusion — bridging the talent gap’.
“The energy transition is no longer theoretical,” said Chris Lee, portfolio director for CWIEME events. “We’re now dealing with the engineering realities, and CWIEME Berlin is one of the few places in the world where that conversation is taking place in full view.”
From a Senator looking to make Germany’s capital city climate-neutral to a young social leader pushing for equitable energy reform, CWIEME Berlin will offer insight from some of the industry’s most prestigious thought leaders.
A particular emphasis this year is being placed on engineering talent. For example, 2025 will see the return of two specialised programmes: Women in Engineering and Future Engineers. Both programmes include panel discussions and opportunities to make lasting connections, and the Future Engineers programme offers a chance to attend a sponsored course at the Transformers Academy.
The widening talent gap is one of the industry’s biggest challenges, made more significant as demand for skilled engineers skyrockets.
Over 70 visionary speakers and six dynamic content themes make up the heart of the event, offering attendees a rare opportunity to hear from and connect with the engineers, policymakers and innovators shaping tomorrow’s energy systems.
