CWIEME Berlin is the world's leading trade fair for coil winding, electric motors, transformers and electric drive technology. Every year, it brings together engineers, developers, buyers and decision-makers from over 80 countries in the German capital - with the aim of presenting and further developing the latest technologies, materials and processes in the field of electrical energy transmission and application. The abbreviation CWIEME stands for “Coil Winding, Insulation and Electrical Manufacturing Exhibition” and thus precisely describes the focus of the trade fair. Whether automotive industry, energy supply, industrial plant construction or aviation - wherever electrical machines play a central role, CWIEME Berlin is a central platform for exchange and business initiation.
The event focuses on components and manufacturing technologies for electric motors, generators, transformers and inductors. The trade fair covers the entire value chain: from magnet wires and insulation technologies to winding machines, punching tools and testing equipment, through to sensor technology, software solutions and innovative materials such as amorphous metals or nano-coated insulating materials. An important topic is increasing energy efficiency - for example through optimized geometries, lower power losses or the use of alternative materials. Also in focus: compact designs for mobile applications, thermal management systems, automated production processes and quality control. Anyone interested in other trade fairs in the capital can find an overview of important events relating to technology, energy and industry at Berlin Trade Fair.
The applications of the technologies on show are diverse and continue to increase in view of global electrification efforts. Electromobility, renewable energies, smart grids and industrial automation are leading to an increasing demand for powerful, cost-efficient and reliable electrical machines. CWIEME not only reflects this demand - it gives it a concrete face. Numerous exhibitors use the trade fair to present new generations of electric motors for electric vehicles, transformers with improved efficiency or new manufacturing processes that save time and resources. The development of modular platforms, for example for drivetrains, also plays a central role.
With several hundred exhibitors from all over the world, CWIEME is not only a showcase for technical innovations, but also an excellent business network. Buyers and OEMs meet suppliers here who meet their exact technical requirements. The trade fair supports this networking through a variety of curated formats: Matchmaking platforms, guided tours, business lounges and networking events make it easier to make targeted contacts. Special attention is paid to the integration of new markets. Companies from Asia, especially China, Korea and India, present themselves as well as leading suppliers from Europe and North America - often with specific solutions for the respective industry sectors.
CWIEME offers a top-class conference program to accompany the exhibition. Current developments, research approaches and industrial implementations will be presented in specialist lectures, discussion rounds and practical sessions. Topics such as sustainable materials, additive manufacturing, design optimization and automation in electric motor production are regularly on the agenda. Regulatory and normative issues are also addressed - such as efficiency standards, recycling quotas or safety requirements in transformer construction. The trade fair thus builds a bridge between research, production and the regulatory framework.
As in many technical sectors, the shortage of skilled workers is also a challenge in the field of electrical machinery production. CWIEME addresses this by specifically targeting young talent: students, trainees and young professionals are given access to career formats, company presentations and mentoring opportunities. The aim is to arouse enthusiasm for technology and establish contacts between young professionals and companies at an early stage. Many exhibitors take the opportunity to present their training opportunities, dual study programs or trainee programs - directly in the context of cutting-edge technical products.
Berlin is the ideal trade fair location for CWIEME: the city combines a vibrant start-up culture with a strong industrial infrastructure, has excellent international connections and attracts trade visitors from all over the world. Institutes such as the TU Berlin, Fraunhofer facilities and start-ups from the e-mobility and energy sectors also create a dynamic environment in which technological impulses can not only be shown, but also directly developed further. The trade fair also benefits from the interdisciplinary exchange that Berlin promotes: Research, business, design and politics regularly come together here - also in the context of the energy and transportation transition, which is giving new relevance to electric drive solutions.
At a time when electric drives are becoming a key technology, CWIEME Berlin impressively demonstrates the innovative power of this industry. It is not just a trade fair for mechanical engineering, but a strategic hub for the industry of the future: efficient, sustainable, international and technologically advanced.
