From 9–11 June 2026, Nuremberg will host the PCIM Expo & Conference, bringing together the global power electronics community to examine current developments and future technology directions. The event provides a structured overview of component-level innovations, system solutions, and application trends shaping the industry. A new addition this year is a dedicated stage addressing artificial intelligence and data center power requirements.
The exhibition will span approximately 40,000 square meters and include more than 650 companies from 27 countries. Established suppliers such as Mitsubishi, onsemi, Sumida, and Toshiba will present their latest devices and systems, alongside new exhibitors including Allegro MicroSystems, NHK Spring, and Moteon. The full exhibitor list and product portfolio can be accessed via the event’s online directory.
The 2026 program introduces the AI & Data Centers Stage, complementing the existing Exhibitor, Technology, and E-Mobility & Energy Storage stages. This addition reflects the growing impact of AI workloads on power-conversion architectures, efficiency requirements, and system-level design. Presentations and panel discussions will address device technologies, power delivery strategies, and application-specific challenges.
The Technology Stage will focus on semiconductor and system-level advancements. Key topics include 1200 V SiC high-temperature module platforms, GaN device scaling toward higher voltage classes, thermal management approaches such as double-sided cooling for SiC, and optimization of high-frequency switching behavior in GaN-based systems.
The AI & Data Centers Stage will examine GaN-based power solutions for high-density computing environments and explore integrating AI methods into power electronics design and control. The E-Mobility & Energy Storage Stage will address application-specific requirements in electric mobility and energy storage systems, with contributions from companies including Wolfspeed, Hitachi, and Littelfuse.
The University Research Zone will provide access to current academic work, with daily presentations from institutions such as Stuttgart University, the University of Edinburgh, and the University of Southern Denmark. Research topics include wide-bandgap semiconductor reliability, MW-class converter design, and advanced capacitor technologies.
The accompanying PCIM Conference will feature over 500 technical papers and poster presentations, enabling direct exchange between industry and academia. In addition, pre-event seminars will offer in-depth coverage of key topics across the power electronics value chain.
