Nuremberg will once again become the international hub for power electronics. The PCIM Expo & Conference brings together experts from around the world to discuss the latest developments and future trends in the industry. The event provides a comprehensive overview of the innovative products, solutions, and trends that will help shape the power electronics industry in the future. This year, for the first time, a new stage will shine a light on the topic of artificial intelligence and data centres.
Across approximately 40,000 square meters of exhibition space, more than 650 companies from 27 countries will be showcasing their newest and most tried-and tested technologies. Leading companies such as Mitsubishi, Onsemi, Sumida, and Toshiba will all be in attendance. These will be joined by an array of newcomers, including Allegro MicroSystems, NHK Spring, and Moteon, all of whom will also present their latest innovations. A complete list of this year’s exhibiting companies, as well as the products and solutions they will be presenting, is available in the online exhibitor search on the PCIM website.
Wide range of presentations across four stages
This year, a new presentation stage, the AI & Data Centres Stage, will be joining the Exhibitor, Technology, and E-Mobility & Energy Storage stages at the PCIM Expo 2026 to shine a light on two of the most important future trends in power electronics. The expert presentations and panel discussions will give visitors in-depth insights into current developments, innovative technologies, and practical applications.
Each stage has a different focus to offer a broad selection of illuminating presentations.
Highlights of the technology stage
- Fraunhofer IISB: 1200V SiC High-temperature power module as reference development platform
- Fraunhofer IAF: Scaling up the power of GaN Technologies: paving the way for the 1200 V class and beyond
- Bosch: maximising SiC power – is double-sided cooling the right choice?
- Infineon: optimising soft-switching operation of GaN at high frequency
Highlights of the AI & data centres stage:
- Yole: GaN powering the AI data centre: enabling efficient next-generation power delivery
- ECPE: white paper on AI in power electronics
The E-Mobility & Energy Storage Stage will focus on current and future developments in power electronics for use in electromobility and energy storage. This year, leading companies such as Wolfspeed, Hitachi, and Littelfuse will introduce their applications.
University Research Zone to showcase innovations from academia
At the PCIM Expo 2026, the University Research Zone will offer exclusive access to the most recent findings from power electronics research. Each day will feature different universities and research institutes offering insights into the latest developments from the world of research.
Below are just some of the universities that will be presenting recent projects:
- Stuttgart University: advanced wide-bandgap semiconductor reliability characterisation and system design
- University of Edinburgh: advancing wide-bandgap power semiconductors to MWclass converter applications
- University of Southern Denmark: new generation electrolytic and film capacitors
Conference highlights: a spotlight on artificial intelligence and future-oriented innovations
As usual, the PCIM Expo will be accompanied by the PCIM Conference – an exclusive platform that promotes exchange between the realms of industry and science. Participants can look forward to an extensive line-up of first-rate talks and poster presentations – including numerous first publications from industry and science – that will surpass 500 for the first time.
In addition, the PCIM seminars, which are held over the two days before the exhibition, offer a unique setting for direct discussion of specialised topics along the entire power electronics value chain.
