2026 Event Agenda Sessions
Panel: Engineering Sustainable Electrification
- Electrification is at the heart of ambitious net zero targets, but delivering it sustainably demands real engineering breakthroughs — from integrated motor drives that cut energy and material waste, to compact power electronics.
- What does sustainable electrification actually require? Reducing lifecycle impacts, minimising use of precious materials, and rethinking how we design, manufacture, and integrate power converters and electric machines across sectors
- Understanding where the critical innovation challenges lie and what engineers need to solve them
Thursday 21 May 12:30 - 12:50 Electric Motor Forum Stage
