PowerizeD had a strong first day at EFECS2025, with a packed booth and a focused presentation during the afternoon sessions. The team shared how the project is pushing the boundaries of energy-efficient power electronics and helping Europe build stronger capabilities across mobility, industry, and digital infrastructure.
What stood out was how aligned the conversations were, from policymakers to engineers to partners wandering the exhibition floor. Everyone is looking for solutions that move the needle on real-world sustainability and competitiveness, not just theory.
A solid start for the consortium, and a reminder that collaboration across the ECS value chain is what will carry Europe forward.
The PowerizeD project had a strong presence at EFECS 2025, the annual European Forum for Electronic Components and Systems. This year’s event once again brought together leading voices from across industry, research, and policy, making it an ideal stage to share our latest results and engage with the community. At our booth, visitors explored presentations, leaflets and videos that highlighted how PowerizeD is advancing the digitalisation and intelligence of power electronics. Conversations throughout the exhibition focused on sustainability, efficiency, and the real-world impact of our innovations, all central themes as we approach the final deliverables.
PowerizeD has been featured in German Success Stories from EU Projects – Research and Innovation for Europe’s Digital Infrastructure 2025, a yearbook published by NKS DIT – the National Contact Point for Digital and Industrial Technologies, part of Germany’sofficial Horizon Europe support network coordinated by the DLR Project Management Agency (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt) on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The annual publication highlights outstanding European initiatives advancing the continent’s digital infrastructure, sustainability, and technological sovereignty. The Success Stories 2025 yearbook by NKS DIT features EU projects that are shaping Europe’s digitalfuture, from high-performance computing and quantum technologies to data spaces, AI networks, and power electronics.
The M30 PowerizeD project's General Assembly Meeting concludedsuccessfully at Aalto University in Helsinki.
It was a highly productive gathering, featuring in-depth discussions on the project's overall impact and key exploitation insights. We also benefited from several engaging parallel sessions. Our sincere gratitude goes to Vesa Vuorinen and Mervi Paulasto-Kröckel for their wonderful hospitality as our hosts at Aalto University.We'd also like to extend a thank you to Kempower and ABB for their support in sponsoring the dinner and arranging such insightful site visits; special recognition goes to Petri Korhonen (Kempower) and Joonas Leppänen and Matti Kauhanen (ABB). Lastly, a big thank you to our coordinators, Jochen Koszescha and Daniela Maier, for their excellent organization of another seamless and successful meeting.
Yesterday we had a site visit at ABB, where we explored their cutting-edge facilities and engaged in productive discussions regarding their current actions and ongoing work.. A huge thank you to the entire ABB team for making this visit so insightful.
In the next decades, power electronic system develop ment will be driven by energy saving systems, intelligent energy management, power quality, system miniaturisation and high reliability. Monolithic and hybrid system integration will comprise advanced device concepts including wide bandgap devices, new packaging technologies and the overall integration of actuators/drives (mechatronic integration).
CIPS is consequently focused on the following main aspects:
Basic technologies for integrated power electronic systems as well as upcoming new important applications will be presented in interdisciplinary invited papers.
In 2026, the successful story of CIPS will continue as the conference‘s focus is today more important than ever – increasing functionality, energy efficiency and system reliability while decreasing cost.
EFECS 2025 is the premier European Forum for Electronic Components and Systems, dedicated to advancing the sector’s growth and innovation. Taking place in Malta on December 3-4, 2025, this event brings together industry leaders, policymakers, researchers, and innovators to strengthen Europe’s strategic leadership in semiconductor technology.
