The deadline is fast approaching for exhibitors and buyers alike to complete their profiles on Connect @ CWIEME, the platform that is transforming the way that the electrical engineering connects and collaborates. It leverages data and technology to make critical connections between engineering, procurement, R&D professionals and companies to ensure they get the most out of their time at CWIEME Berlin 2024.

The industry show is the world’s largest international trade fair and conference dedicated to the coil winding and electrical manufacturing industry. It is a comprehensive hub that showcases the entire value chain, from raw materials to finished products and services. CWIEME Berlin brings together manufacturers, suppliers, and industry professionals from all over the world — last year, more than 5,000 visitors from 88 countries came to see over 600 exhibitors. This year’s event, which is taking place 14 to 16 May at Messe Berlin, is expected to be even bigger.

Connect @ CWIEME was launched at the 2023 iteration of the show and, with an 86% satisfaction rate, is back for 2024 with new improvements to enable even more connections, drive higher numbers of scheduled visits to exhibitor stands and allow increased flexibility for decision makers to participate when it suits them. Last year, the app hosted over 1,500 engineering, procurement and R&D buyers such as Siemens Energy, Volvo, Tesla and Hitachi Energy, more than 600 supplier companies such as GROB, Marsilli and Elantas, and arranged 3,200 high value meetings.

This programme is specifically designed to enhance connectivity and collaboration within the CWIEME Berlin community. It provides buyers with access to detailed profiles of all exhibitors, enabling efficient planning and maximisation of time at the show by allowing the addition of selected exhibitors to personal schedules.

Participation in Connect @ CWIEME offers numerous benefits as it facilitates the identification of suitable suppliers and solutions for project needs with unprecedented efficiency. Additionally, it provides an opportunity to explore new and emerging products from a wide range of companies — ranging from well-established industry leaders to innovative local and international start ups. Buyers can also create personalised schedules that optimise their time at the show, focusing on the most critical meetings and interactions for achieving their business goals.

This proactive approach in scheduling and planning empowers buyers to leverage the networking opportunities and resources available at CWIEME Berlin, ensuring a rewarding and impactful event experience. Buyers are encouraged to set up their profiles by 19 April 2024, to align with the period when exhibitors start finalising their schedules. Completing buyer profiles before the deadline ensures the best chance to engage with relevant exhibitors and tailor the show experience to meet specific needs and interests before the event begins.

Alex Oxley, senior marketing manager at CWIEME Berlin, said: “The countdown to the show is on, and we are urging all of our visitors to make sure they are fully using Connect @ CWIEME before the show. Last year, we saw incredible success stories emerge from connections made through the app, and this year, we have refined its features to make these interactions even more impactful. We are dedicated to ensuring that every participant, whether they are showcasing groundbreaking technology or looking for the next big thing in the industry, has the tools they need to succeed.”
