Here's your first look at what the brand new Electric Motor Forum will look like in 2026. In the coming weeks we'll have more details to share on all of these sessions, so stay tuned to discover more about the new home for Europe's electric motor community.
Discover how Axial Flux Motor (AFM) technology is moving beyond niche applications and into the mainstream. This session explores its distinct performance advantages and the design and manufacturing strategies enabling scalable adoption across industries.
This session presents the design, simulation, and experimental validation of a rare-earth-free single-sided axial flux synchronous motor using iron nitride (FeN) permanent magnets and soft magnetic composite (SMC) core.
The Magellan Project, co-funded by the European Union, represents a significant opportunity to unlock new collaboration models across the electrical manufacturing ecosystem. This session will explore how strategic alignment, raw material intelligence, and cross-sector partnerships can drive innovation, strengthen resilience, and enhance competitiveness.

This session presents a 48 V, 35 kW electric drive system that rethinks motor design through the use of rigid aluminium bar conductors and rare-earth-free ferrite magnets. By addressing cost, supply chain resilience, and sustainability simultaneously, the concept offers a practical pathway for material transition in motor manufacturing. Combining technical analysis with quantified life-cycle data, the session provides actionable insights into next-generation low-voltage drive development.
The motor repair and maintenance landscape is evolving fast under the pressures of electrification, energy efficiency, and AI. This session explores the global forces redefining service strategies, cost structures, and sustainability targets. Discover how innovation and quality standards are creating new opportunities for service providers and asset owners alike.
The speech introduces a compact axial‑flux permanent‑magnet motor with an immersed double‑rotor layout tailored for high‑integrated electric water‑pump systems. A unified CAE workflow drives electromagnetic optimization and cooling performance tuning on e-motor design parameters in function of internal fluid‑flow effects. Prototype testing validates the motor’s performance, demonstrating high efficiency, robust thermal behaviour, and scalability for next generation thermal management modules (TMMS) in transportation applications.
As electrification accelerates across the automotive sector, the electric motor has become a critical focal point in both technological innovation and global supply chain strategy.
As motor manufacturers face increasing regulatory and customer pressure to reduce environmental impact, the copper value chain is becoming a critical area of focus. Copper remains a key material in motor design, and its sourcing and processing play a significant role in the overall footprint of winding wire.
From cutting-edge innovation to real-world applications, the Electric Motor Forum brings together the brightest minds in the industry. Whether you're looking to learn, network, or stay ahead of market trends, this is where it happens.
