4 MARKET NEWS Issue 1 2024 Power Electronics Europe www.power-mag.com PCIM Europe 2024’s exhibition space grows with an extra hall Increased demand from exhibiting companies means that PCIM Europe 2024 has expanded beyond halls 6, 7 and 9. An extra hall will be allocated for the exhibition and conference, which takes place between 11 to 13 June 2024 at the Nuremberg Exhibition Center, Nuremberg, Germany. The additional hall reflects this increasing demand for opportunities for suppliers to present and exchange information and technology developments, says Messe Messago. PCIM Europe has been a platform for the power electronics community for 43 years and today reflects changes as the industry adapts to develop reliable energy supplies for new applications, such as electro mobility. The extra space will support the event’s continuous growth, increase the variety of products and services presented, and drive further development of power electronics, says the show organiser. The organiser says that visitors to PCIM Europe can look forward to an even more extensive range of products and services as well as further networking opportunities. The number of registered exhibiting companies is expected to be another record number, already surpassing 450 by the end of last year. “We are aiming to respond to the needs of the industry in a timely manner and thus significantly increase product diversity and networking opportunities,” explains Lisette Hausser, Vice President PCIM Europe at organiser Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH. A new focus for 2024 is smart power system integration. Miniaturisation and complexity in the electronics industry is leading to constantly increasing requirements in terms of power density, efficiency, signal frequencies and thermal properties, meaning that system integration occupies centre stage, with consequent demands on materials, components, circuit carriers, temperature resistance and, especially assembly and interconnection technologies. At the Smart Power System Integration Zone and Stage in Hall 5, exhibiting companies will present innovative technologies, solutions, and application examples for current and future challenges in power electronics manufacturing, particularly for applications in areas such as automotive, railway and server technology. For the first time, there will be an extensive programme of presentations on current products and trends on four stages. Each will have a different focus: the Smart Power System Integration Stage, Technology Stage, formerly known as the Industry Stage, Exhibitor Stage and EMobility & Energy Storage Stage. There will be a special E-Mobility & Energy Storage Zone with its own stage which will host presentations on current topics and trends relating to the electromobility and energy storage value chain. In addition, live product demos will take place at the stands of suppliers from this area. Electromobility and energy storage will also be addressed at the parallel conference in the form of presentations. The 2024 conference received a record number of submissions, with presentations from the R&D departments of leading companies and universities from all areas of power electronics.
