Power for Efficiency!
Digest submissions 1 March 2012
The PCIM event in São Paulo, Brazil is following the success
of PCIM Europe and PCIM Asia, which are taking place
annually in Nuremberg (Germany) and Shanghai (China).
The South American region and especially Brazil are experiencing a strong economic growth. The power electronics
industry benefits from this growth and the demand for the
products they produce. In order to meet the considerable
need for information, PCIM South America, which is an
application oriented conference with exhibition, has been
launched as a communication platform for experts of the
industry and academia.
From latest developments of power semiconductors, passive
components, products for thermal management, new
materials, sensors as well as servo-technology and the wide
area of power quality and energy-management – PCIM
offers a comprehensive, focused and compact presentation
under one roof!
The international conference provides the ideal opportunity
for dialogue and exchange between research, product
development and application. The exhibition, which takes
place parallel to the conference, enables the delegate to
get in contact directly with the industry actors.
Take the chance to showcase your work and hold your
presentation in an oral, a poster or a tutorial session, at
PCIM South America 2012! Digests focused on specific
industrial needs and developments are specially welcome
as the event targets are the interaction between research,
development and innovation.
Be part of this community
