Concurrent forums included the power electronics application forum, the 3rd generation semiconductor forum, new energy development under the carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals, electrical transportation technology in the industry 4.0 area, as well as the Shanghai international smart home energy efficiency control and home energy management forum.
This year’s PCIM Asia conference held 72 presentations delivered by leading experts and academics from across different areas of power electronics. A total of 65 papers were submitted before the conference, demonstrating there is not a lack of ideas within the power electronics community.
Throughout the three days, fairgoers and conference participants were asked about their impression towards the show. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with respondents remarking on the big crowds, variety of products on offer and in-depth expertise shared at the forums and conference. “This is my second time attending PCIM Asia, and I feel like the fair has grown since, and is growing towards the size of PCIM Europe. The response has been really good, and the whole morning our booth was full. Just like in Europe, people are enjoying being back and interacting with their suppliers and customers. For me PCIM is the number one show for power electronics and we will very likely come back for the next edition of PCIM Asia”, says Stefan Häuser, Head of Product Marketing Industry, Semikron Danfoss. “PCIM is one of the most important power electronics shows in the world, we participate every year at PCIM Europe but this is our first time attending PCIM Asia. So far on day one we’ve had a very positive response with a lot of visitors at our booth and we’ve had meaningful discussions with potential clients. Our target customers are engineers in the industrial and automotive sectors, and we found many people from these two sectors showing interest in our booth. Next year we will consider bringing even more solutions to PCIM Asia 2024”, added Ginni Lai, Marketing Communications Manager at Onsemi.
PCIM Asia is jointly organised by Guangzhou Guangya Messe Frankfurt and Mesago Messe Frankfurt. The next edition will take place from 28 - 30 August 2024 at the Shenzhen world exhibition and convention center.
