HAEFELY is a Swiss company providing test equipment for the transformer industry. The Industry Navigator conference is a perfect place to share insights and information with experts worldwide from the transformer industry. This is especially important now, because our industry is on a fast-growing path, and we need to give our clients enough capacity to support the energy transition and electrification worldwide. I'd like to thank Mladen and the Transformers Magazine team for providing us with this unique place for these discussions, and I'm looking forward to the next conference, hopefully soon.

This is my third time at the Transformer Magazine's Industry Navigator conference. It is a great pleasure to see so many bright minds here. This is a unique opportunity to meet industry leaders, experts and innovators who are shaping the future of the transformer industry. Being here means that you are at the front of the cutting-edge technology and groundbreaking research. It's a chance to exchange ideas, lead from the best and take the new solutions for responding to the challenges we face. Let's get the most out of this incredible opportunity. Thank you very much and enjoy the conference.

This is my first year at the Industry Navigator conference and we had a wonderful time here in Dubai, learned a lot, and saw some very exciting and interesting presentations. We were able to talk with some industry experts and learn all about what's happening in the transformer industry. We're certainly taking away a lot of interesting and insightful information, and we'll be bringing it to life in the business as we move forward from here. Thank you very much for the opportunity to attend.

This is my third year in a row at the Industry Navigator conference, and it's always great to meet the community that we have built over the last years. We've been working on a lot of topics, and it's great to see that suppliers and other partners are coming together to develop, especially on the path of becoming more sustainable.

Just yesterday, we had a discussion at dinner about oil decarbonization pathways, which was a new topic for me. So, every time I come here, I really learn a lot of new stuff.

We really have an engaged community. We have built connections, and we are working together on topics, and that's the way to drive topics forward, and to build momentum - this is why it's really great to meet everyone.

This is my first time here at the Industry Navigator conference.

This conference is a very good opportunity to get together, as all the important people in the industry are together. The conference is very well organized and I enjoyed taking part, sharing insights and networking. We had some good talks and communication opportunities.

I liked the presentations. Some of them have more useful information for my engineering and sales colleagues, of course, but I still had many good conversations, and saw many presentations useful for me as someone from marketing.

I’m looking forward to the next year's conference, because we have a very good partnership with Transformers Magazine and they have helped us a lot in marketing-related and PR-related tasks, and we would like to continue this successful partnership. It's really an honor to take part again in the Industry Navigator conference.

I really like the business-related content during the day, it’s really useful. But I also like the fact that the Transformers Magazine team is taking care of the “unofficial” events as well, and that we can get together, have unofficial conversations, get to know each other at social events. Last night we visited the Museum of the Future here in Dubai, which was also a very good opportunity for conversations.

Essex Solutions is proud to be attending this event in Dubai as a champion of this conference. The power transformer world is rapidly changing, with growing demand all over the world, and especially in Europe. This poses new challenges to all our industries, not only in terms of the supply chain, but also in terms of sustainability and innovation. This conference is a good place to talk to many companies involved in this power transformer business. Moreover, Dubai is the perfect hub to connect the western part of the world with the eastern part of the world, giving people the opportunity to meet here in a great atmosphere and a great environment.

This is our first time at the Industry Navigator conference, and it was very informative. We met a lot of suppliers, customers, and possible partners. Just this morning I was discussing our next participation in the next event

The organization is perfect. Despite the overlap with Middle East energy due to which we missed some of the sessions, everything was great.

We’re looking forward to the next conference. We're planning to have even more participation. I think we could have even more speaking slots.

There might be more pre-organized one-on-one meetings with companies interested in the same topic. These are the opportunities that we and others can capitalize on having this mix of companies in one place.

It was a truly inspiring experience attending the Industry Navigator conference in Dubai, led by Mladen Banović. This truly reflects a deep commitment to advancing the transformer industry, which fits perfectly with CWIEME’s purpose. As a premium platform, we truly connect professionals in the industry, drive technical advancements. Both our organizations support the growth and the transformation of the industry, and I truly believe these partnerships empower our commitment to the industry, support innovation and connect the transformer industry.

I’m responsible for all the content at CWIEME, including the digital contents. This conference really helped me and supported me in terms of research, connecting with potential speakers or potential partners. I'm truly interested in everything related with the content.

The organization is perfect. I really liked the app which was really useful and at the same time more sustainable, not having to print many papers. This was one of the goals of Transformers Magazine. At CWIEME, we truly believe in sustainability so I think it was a great idea.

This is my third time here at the Industry Navigator conference. We are here because we can meet a lot of our visitors. Transformer manufacturers visit our exhibitions, and it's very nice to be in touch with them directly during this conference. We also have many customers here, so it's always nice to meet them.

The organization is perfect. My first time in Dubrovnik and last year in Madrid was amazing, and so is this year.

The presentations are very useful, especially when they talk about the market. This was the most useful information for us, because we are not a transformer manufacturer, we are an event organizer. Because of this, I think that information about the general strategy in this market was very useful for us, for the next development of our Coiltech exhibition.

We’re looking forward to the next year already – I wonder where the next edition will be held. Thank you very much and see you next time.

AI Advanced Electrical Systems came to the Industry Navigator conference this year because it's a leadership type of event and there are many very high-level people here, a lot of executives. As we look to expand our business internationally, this was a great event for us to come to. We've picked up several very good opportunities by being here. It's a great opportunity to network, and I'm meeting a lot of people that I wouldn't normally meet in the circles that I travel in normally, so this has been a very good event for us.

Ergon produces HyVolt dielectric fluids. I've participated in the Industry Navigator conference since the beginning. The industry as a whole will experience a lot of challenges during the energy transition to find the materials, to keep the supply chain balanced. This conference is the right space to have those discussions. Here we discuss not only sustainability but also skills, skill force, people, materials, raw materials, and different products. I invite everyone to come join us in the years to come for these discussions. It's going to be a fun time in the next two decades throughout the energy transition.

I've participated in the Industry Navigator conference since the beginning, and I have to say, it has developed over the years. It is now a must-attend conference. For me, it's one of the most important places to talk sustainability in the transformer industry, and it brings together all the stakeholders from all different areas to discuss how we can solve the sustainability issue together in the next years and next decades. Thank you very much.

This conference is always an amazing place to find out about the latest trends and innovations in the transformer industry and to do some networking, which is useful in day-to-day business.

KANSAI HELIOS Austria produces coatings for transformers. I'm really happy to be here. It's my first time participating, and I really like the event because it's a good opportunity for networking, for listening to interesting talks, and for meeting the industry leaders. I'm very happy to be part of this great conference.

Mobitron is a Swedish company which produces impact and shock recorders. This is my second time at the Industry Navigator conference. This conference is perfect for networking, for meeting people and having conversations about the industry and the future. It is a great conference to visit and have a really good time.

I've participated in the Industry Navigator conferences since the beginning, I've been cooperating with Transformers Magazine and Transformers Academy since the first issue. I'm happy to encourage this huge project that brings education and information from the best sources to the industry. This type of conference is growing from year to year, which is one of the best signs of its popularity.

Thank you to Transformers Magazine for organizing this great event, the Industry Navigator conference. This fact this conference is being held in Dubai this year is good to get the attention of more people to what is happening in the industry. We are facing exciting times, but also challenges in the energy transition and affordability, reliability, and sustainability of the future grid. To face these challenges, we need the collaboration of the industry, and here we have a lot of people that are discussing about this, which is very important. We are also working to attract more people to the industry, especially young people. And finally, we need it not only to address today's challenges, to have more transformers and more capacity, but also to look at how transformers will evolve to address the future challenges.

Edvard Christoffersen

We are from Rystad Energy, a global market intelligence firm. It's very interesting for us to be here and talk with industry players. We are very lucky to be invited here by the Transformers Magazine team as we participated in their quiz that they hosted across 14 rounds since September 2024. We’re very glad to be invited here as participants and winners of this quiz.

Daniel Holmedal

Yes, like Edvard said, the quiz series consisted of 14 different rounds every two weeks, and it covered some news questions from Transformers Magazine, then also some technical questions related to transformers. It was a great way for us to go from almost zero in the transformer space to actually getting quite knowledgeable about things. It also made it much easier for us to use the components from Transformers Magazine in a very practical way. We used the knowledge both for the quiz but also for the products that we developed.
