International participation at the EMV was greater than ever this year. Fifty percent of exhibitors and 30 percent of visitors and participants traveled from numerous countries. The event once again combined further education with networking and hands-on experience with the latest product developments and measurement solutions in the field of electromagnetic compatibility.
"This year's EMV once again demonstrates the importance of the interplay between research, industrial application, and regulation," emphasized Jeannette Meyer, EMV Vice President at Mesago Messe Frankfurt. "The technical depth of all program areas and the broad participation from many countries have noticeably enriched the exchange. The EMV Expo thus remains a central point of reference for anyone who wants to stay up to date in the field of electromagnetic compatibility."
From the big picture to industry trends: EMV 2026 set the tone in terms of content.
The strong turnout was reflected in the diversity of topics covered at the Conference, Workshops, and Expo. These events clearly demonstrated the close link between current developments in power electronics, the energy transition, the Internet of Things (IoT), and smart system integration, as well as the great need for expert guidance in this dynamic environment.
"In an era of increasingly decentralised and interconnected large-scale systems that can adversely affect one another, products, standards and technologies must be refined in ever shorter cycles to meet these new demands. We also need a platform where knowledge can be shared transparently and challenges solved collaboratively. The EMV is precisely such a platform: it brings experts together, promotes open exchange, and ensures that new findings are quickly incorporated into the industry’s development and testing processes. This is where EMC expertise is becoming increasingly important. That is why the EMV Expo and Conference has long since become a key driving force for the entire professional community,” emphasises Prof. Heyno Garbe, Chair of the EMV Committee.
The exchange of expertise between industry, research and users demonstrated the high level, especially with regard to future topics such as EMC in power electronics and smart system integration.
'We’ve once again achieved our main objectives this year. First, meeting test labs and speaking with experts – which we’ve successfully done. Second, connecting with other members of this specialized community, which is always very important. And third, exploring product developments from the past twelve months – and there have been many worth seeing. In Europe, the EMV is the only event that brings together so many global players in this field. For us, this annual event is essential.,' explains Julien Sarrade, Business Development Manager General Electronics, EMEA, Keysight Technologies.
Highlights of the EMV 2026
Participants at this year's EMV could expect a diverse programme of presentations at the congress sessions and workshops, as well as at the trade fair forum, with various highlights. Whether they were students, EMC beginners, or C-level development managers, there was something for everyone.
Premiere: ‘Experiments & Live Demonstrations Session’
For the first time, the EMV offered its own session comprising three live demonstrations of real measurement setups, sources of interference, coupling mechanisms, and countermeasures. This format particularly met the needs of developers, test engineers and users with strong practical experience.
“The new Experiments & Live Demonstrations Session is a highly valuable addition to the EMV, bringing hands-on innovation into the spotlight. The demo format encourages more natural discussions and collaboration between academia and industry, making it easier to adopt new techniques. Exposure to real-world problem-solving approaches format makes the event more engaging and valuable, especially for students and practitioners who live validation of concepts,” explains Vignesh Rajamani, Application Segment Manager, EMC Rohde & Schwarz USA, Inc.
Inspiring keynote: EMC compliance in the age of AI
Another highlight was the keynote address, which for the first time shed light on the interactions between regulatory requirements for AI-based systems and EMC compliance. The introduction of adaptive, intelligent systems is creating new testing and documentation requirements, a topic which met with great interest.
Outlook
The EMV thus remains the central meeting place for everyone working at the interface of research, development, and application in the field of electromagnetic compatibility. Further information about the Expo and additional offerings, such as on-demand knowledge formats, is available year-round on the Hub for Electromagnetic Compatibility, the platform for the EMC community.
The next EMV will take place in Stuttgart from 27 to 29 April 2027.
