Central Grid is the reimagined heart of CWIEME Berlin.
Formerly the Central Stage, the Central Grid reflects a clear shift in focus for 2026. This is where the most critical conversations shaping power systems now take place. From transformers and generators to grid operators and transmission and distribution infrastructure, the Central Grid brings system-level thinking to the centre of the event.
The Central Grid connects electrical manufacturing expertise with the realities of grid delivery, reliability, and electrification at scale.
Electrification is no longer a future ambition. It is a system challenge happening now.
Power networks are under pressure from renewable integration, EV charging, data centres, and industrial electrification. The Central Grid was created to reflect that shift and to give transformer, generator, and grid-focused content a clear, visible home within CWIEME Berlin.
This stage exists to:

Connect system outcomes with engineering and manufacturing decisions
Support utilities, OEMs, and manufacturers navigating rapid change
The Central Grid is a rebranding and expansion, not a reset.
The Central Stage became a focal point for transformer, power, and infrastructure discussions at CWIEME Berlin. Sessions consistently drew strong engagement from manufacturers, utilities, and system integrators looking for insight beyond component-level innovation.
CWIEME Berlin builds on that momentum. Working closely with industry leaders and knowledge partners, the Central Stage has evolved into The Central Grid, reflecting the growing importance of grid-focused content across the event.
The Central Grid hosts content that sits at the intersection of power systems, manufacturing, and grid operation.
You can expect sessions covering:
