CWIEME Berlin, Europe’s leading event for coil winding, transformer, electric motor and e-mobility technologies, has announced the launch of the Electric Motor Forum, a brand-new feature debuting at the 2026 edition of the show.

The Electric Motor Forum will provide a dedicated space for the entire European electric motor industry to come together, from automotive and industrial manufacturers to HVAC and consumer applications, in an environment designed to foster collaboration, innovation and community.

Developed in response to visitor feedback and the growing demand for clearer product zoning, the new forum will serve as a strategic cluster that mirrors the success of the 2025 Transformer Hub in Hall 27, which became one of the show’s best-attended areas.

The Electric Motor Forum will feature a vibrant mix of exhibition stands, networking areas and interactive content, including panel discussions, roundtables and expert-led talks. Content will explore key themes such as supply chain resilience, automation and sustainable materials. An Innovation Zone, dedicated Power Hub and Electric Motor Stage will help create a true content hub — not just a hall, but a dynamic meeting point for suppliers, buyers and policymakers to discuss shared challenges and opportunities.

“The Electric Motor Forum is about rebuilding that sense of family across the industry,” said Melissa Magestro, Portfolio Director at CWIEME. “We’re creating a space where the entire supply chain can come together, share experiences and shape the future of electric motor innovation in Europe. It’s not just about showcasing products — it’s about connecting people and driving meaningful conversation.”

“With the current challenges facing the motors sector, it is vital to have a central place where the industry can come together to hear from key thought leaders and the technical experts moving the industry forward,” added John Morehead, Principal Consultant at Motion Mechatronics and CWIEME Berlin advisory board member. “The Electric Motor Forum at CWIEME will connect the European motors community to foster these important conversations and deepen relationships between OEMS and solution providers.”

CWIEME Berlin is now inviting companies to join the Electric Motor Forum as Strategic Partners, with the opportunity to help shape the content programme, moderate or participate in sessions, and gain prominent branding across the event. Spaces are filling fast, with JL Mag, the biggest manufacturer of rare earth magnets, Hübers, a market leader in system engineering and construction for resin casting and infusion, and Elantas, a leading manufacturer of insulating and protective materials, already confirmed as Strategic Partners for 2026.

“Being part of the Electric Motor Forum is a great opportunity for JL Mag to connect with the wider European motor community,” said Hidayet Mumin, Project Manager at JL Mag. “As a company deeply invested in the development of high-performance rare earth magnets, we see this forum as a vital platform to share knowledge, explore new innovations and collaborate with partners who are driving the future of efficient, sustainable motor technologies.”

Those looking for a more traditional presence can also secure an exhibition stand in the Electric Motor Forum to showcase their innovations alongside key industry players.

CWIEME Berlin 2026 will take place at Messe Berlin, offering an unparalleled opportunity for the motor industry to connect, collaborate and innovate. If you’re interested in exhibiting as part of this new feature, enquire about exhibiting today or email the team to discuss partnership opportunities.
