30th anniversary milestone
The year we celebrate three decades of CWIEME Berlin’s innovation, connection and industry leadership.
Take a look back at some top highlights (and technologies) over the years.
The 2004 show welcomed 350 exhibitors and showcased the latest technology of the early millennium.
Shots from the 2008 event highlight just how much the event halls and stand experiences have grown.
2013 attendees share their favourite things about the event. CWIEME continues to evolve but its value has remained consistent.
Georgios Giovanakis, Group CEO of Thyssenkrupp, reflects on their long-standing presence at CWIEME Berlin—exhibiting for over 20 years—and explains how this enduring commitment has helped solidify their industry leadership and innovation legacy.
In her welcome, Berlin’s Deputy Governing Mayor Franziska Giffey highlights the city’s deep connection to CWIEME and its role in driving innovation. Her words reflect the show’s long-standing impact as a global meeting point for the electrical engineering industry.
Fabio Faria, Vice President of International Sales at Hubbell, reflects on their many years of returning to CWIEME Berlin, underlining how consistent attendance has strengthened customer relationships and supported their global growth.
"It's very, very exciting being here to provide solutions to our customers, especially those in transformer manufacturing. I'm already planning to do this next year again and meet customers here again. This has been really awesome experience."

"I think over the 25 plus years that we've exhibited at CWIEME Berlin, our brand has evolved and with that, so has our booth design. So, if you. We always have fun looking back 5, 10 years ago to see what we did then versus what we do today. And yeah, I think it's good to have fun here in Berlin and I think our booth represents that as well."
"I’ve been coming to CWIEME Berlin for over 10 years and I learn something new with every visit. I have really enjoyed the increase in educational presentations, especially in the e-mobility stage, which lets me keep an eye on the trends of the industry, learn tips and get ideas."
"CWIEME Berlin continues to set the benchmark for meaningful industry engagement. The quality of the sessions, the diversity of expert voices, and the introduction of the C-Suite Club this year created an unmatched platform for insight-sharing and strategic dialogue. We at PTR are proud to be the knowledge partners and look forward to building on this momentum in the years ahead."
"Worldwide, this is the only exhibition with such reach. There are other events in the US, China, and Dubai, but this is the number one. The entire industry is booming, especially in the transformer segment due to the energy transition and renewables this momentum will continue for years to come. You can feel that energy here. Everyone is enthusiastic and eager to find ways to collaborate. This platform really shows how we can serve the market together."

"We’ve been attending for over ten years now, despite being based in Australia, because we believe it’s the best show in the industry. It’s where we meet customers from across the globe. Being in Berlin is ideal it creates a strong connection with the industry. This year has been especially busy, and we’ve benefited from our new location in the new hall."
