Event Programme CIGRE at HIVODUCT
Time: Fri 29.08.2025 / 15:00 – 17:30 & BBQ
Place: Hivoduct, Bahnhofplatz 11, 8908 Hedingen ZH (directly next to the railway station)
Visit the new factory of this promising startup at its fifth anniversary. Hivoduct is introducing a third powerline architecture that completes the established OHL and Cable technology with pressured air ducts that offer high current, low capacitance, low risk fire materials and 90deg angles to overcome space limitations within e.g. tight substations.
We will give a short CIGRE Welcome Introduction and look at the recent CIGRE Cable conference results in Trondheim and then learn more about the new Hivoduct architecture that was already presented in CIGRE Sessions 2022 and 2024 and now turns into operations.

Event Programme CIGRE at eFly
Time: Sat/Sun 13/14.09.2025, 10:00 – 18:00/16:00
Place: Bern Airport, Flugplatzstrasse 55, 3123 Belp
Decarbonizing transport is a key pillar for a sustainable energy transition.
This also challenges the air transport industry, where efficiency, high energy density at low weight storage and safety face an accentuated importance.
Visit the pioneers of small airplane electrification that are meeting yearly in Bern Airport and show us how we are just in front of a take-off into electrified airplanes. The event consists of a symposium, an exhibition, demo flights, passenger flights you can buy (or win with Electrosuisse for NGN/WIE), the inflight competition “eTrophy” and a small food truck area to recharge your own batteries.
CIGRE Switzerland will be on site with various experts, Swiss NC/SC and also WIE/NGN representatives and members, which on top gives you the opportunity to have informal talks with our national CIGRE organisation.
You find the detailed program – that usually gets published on rather short notice in detail, but is really worth it – towards early September on the event website www.electrifly-in.ch/en/programme where we recommend you to subscribe to the newsletter (bottom area).
Please also register at CIGRE Switzerland to get more information prior to the event.
