Another full day of meetings, content, and progress across the show floor. From focused roundtables for Transmission & Distribution and Motors, to high-value conversations throughout the show, attendees continued to evaluate solutions and build partnerships that support real-world delivery.
The new EU F-gas Regulation is accelerating the shift to SF₆-free medium-voltage switchgear, and this session explored how fluorine-free technologies can meet upcoming requirements while maintaining reliability, safety, and compactness, with real-world insights to help engineers and procurement specialists stay compliant and future-proof.
Grid reliability increasingly depended on proactive, data-driven asset management, and this session explored how SAMSTEO’s intelligent monitoring solution—combining Earth Observation, IoT, and weather data—enabled early risk detection, optimised load distribution, reduced downtime, and lower operational costs.
This panel brought together leading motor manufacturers and industry experts to explore how design, production, and market strategies are evolving, and what practical steps companies can take to prepare for what’s ahead.
This session explored rare-earth-free motor technologies, highlighting design strategies and material innovations for high-performance motors without critical materials, alongside advances in magnetic materials, simulation-driven development validated through prototyping, and sustainable solutions that improved manufacturing efficiency and supply-chain resilience.

As the day progressed, the Beer Garden Happy Hour provided a relaxed space for the community to come together. Conversations extended beyond the show floor, creating new connections and strengthening relationships across the entire CWIEME Berlin value chain.
“CWIEME is one of the key events for the transformer industry in Europe every year. For us, it’s one of the premier places to meet, talk with and connect face-to-face with the customers and partners we work with throughout the year - all gathered together in one place across the entire transformer supply chain.”
Ante Prlic, Director of Globa Business Development, APC Media
“This is our second year exhibiting at CWIEME Berlin, and we’ve actually already signed our contract for next year as well, which probably tells you how beneficial the event has been for us. Overall, it’s been a very worthwhile experience, and we’re looking forward to continuing to grow our presence at future editions of the show.”
Ani Bazdekian, Corporate Comms Manager, Ducab
“In terms of visitor quality, we’ve already met the people we were hoping to connect with, so we’re very happy with that. We’re also looking forward to having a few more important conversations over the rest of today and tomorrow.”
Francois Sinecha, Marketing Manager Transformer Oil, ExxonMobil
“We’ve been exhibiting at CWIEME for many years, and it remains one of the key meeting points for the entire transformer industry, bringing together customers, service centres and manufacturers from across the market, so it’s always a valuable opportunity to connect face to face. For us, CWIEME is simply the established place to be — our customers come to Berlin every year, and the show has become the central hub for the industry.”
