EU PVSEC 2026 in Rotterdam; largest international PV conference

Events | Trade Fairs

June 09, 2026 - September 11, 2026

Our researchers will present the following topics at the Sensor + Test PowderMEMS® Technology for Innovative Microsystems Monolithic Back-Biased Hall Sensor PFAS-Free Environmental Protection Caps for MEMS Gas and Pressure Sensors Integrated Micromagnets for NV Quantum Sensors

The PCIM Expo & Conference in Nuremberg, Germany is the leading international event for Power Electronics, Intelligent Motion, Renewable Energy and Energy Management. It connects experts from industry and academia who are dedicated to driving forward products, research and development along the entire value chain. This has made the PCIM Expo & Conference an indispensable meeting place for the industry and the home of power electronics for decades. At the international event for power electronics and its applications, representatives from industry and science meet, trends and developments are presented to the public for the first time, and the entire value chain is represented – from components to intelligent systems. This year's event will be digitally supplemented by a digital platform as part of the PCIM Europe. This awaits you with live streaming, on demand presentations of the conference and the Exhibition Stages as well as exhibitor and product profiles.
