From Circuit to Product: WE Day at MotionLab.Berlin
Sometimes the most useful thing is having an engineer look at what you’re building and spot the problem before it becomes a much bigger one.
On 24 September, Würth Elektronik brings WE Day to MotionLab.Berlin for a full day dedicated to people building electronics and hardware.
Würth Elektronik has been part of the MotionLab.Berlin story since the early days. For the past two years, they’ve also worked directly with our members, providing free electronics kits and technical consulting to teams building on site.
WE Day brings more of that expertise into one room.
Come for the keynote and conversations around where hardware and Physical AI are heading. Stay for practical technical sessions, direct exchange with engineers, and the chance to dig into the problems you’re actually working on.
Bring your prototype, your questions and the problem you haven’t quite cracked yet.
The day
10:00–10:30 | Arrival, croissants & coffee
10:30–11:00 | Keynote: Beyond Components: How Partnership Turns Technology Into Impact
With Alexander Gerfer, CTO, Würth Elektronik eiSos
Alexander has spent 28 years at Würth Elektronik, including more than a decade as CTO, and works closely with startups tackling difficult technical challenges. His own work spans everything from LED light recipes for plant growth to power electronics for AI applications.
11:00–11:45 | Panel: From Component to Creature
What does it actually take to make Physical AI work in the real world?
AI gets the headlines. But once intelligence needs a body, everything gets harder.
Power, sensing, materials, motion, connectivity and electronics all have to work together before a machine can operate reliably in the real world.
Joining the conversation:
Alexander Gerfer, CTO, Würth Elektronik eiSos
Will Fischer, Fischer Innovations / Hardtech Innovation Coach
Frederik Wegner, Founder, Cerepal.ai
David Hanson, Founder & CEO, Hanson Robotics
Moderated by Fridtjof Gustavs, Co-Founder & CEO, MotionLab.Berlin
11:45–12:15 | Refreshment break + Würth Elektronik logo placement ceremony
12:15–13:00 | Wireless Communication in Industrial Environments
With Kevin Elert, Würth Elektronik
Current challenges, practical insights and a live demo of BLE Channel Sounding and BLE FeatherWing.
13:00–13:45 | Lunch
13:45–15:30 | Hands-on workshops
There will be two workshop rounds, giving you the opportunity to go deeper into the technical topics most relevant to your work.
⚡ How to Pass EMC Testing with an SMPS
With Lorandt Fölkel, Würth Elektronik eiSos
