Last month, Natalia Ogorelysheva represented TU Dortmund at CWIEME Berlin – one of the world's leading trade fairs for the coil winding, electric motor, and transformer manufacturing industry, bringing together over 600 exhibitors from more than 40 countries [1]. As part of the fair's newly launched Academic Excellence Hub, the event connected students, researchers, and industry leaders across the global electrical engineering ecosystem.

Last month, Natalia Ogorelysheva represented TU Dortmund at CWIEME Berlin – one of the world's leading trade fairs for the coil winding, electric motor, and transformer manufacturing industry, bringing together over 600 exhibitors from more than 40 countries [1]. As part of the fair's newly launched Academic Excellence Hub, the event connected students, researchers, and industry leaders across the global electrical engineering ecosystem.

Natalia took part in two panel discussions on the Hub's stage.

As a panelist, she joined the IEEE Young Professionals Germany session "The Engineer of 2026: Skills for the Age of AI, Automation, and the Energy Transition," alongside Anastasia Leutloff, MBA (TRUMPF), Jenim Patel (Infigrow Ventures), and Matrishvan Raval (Turntide Technologies). As the only panelist from academia, Natalia brought the research perspective into a conversation otherwise shaped by industry – discussing how AI is reshaping engineering workflows, where the real bottlenecks in scaling clean energy lie, and why judgment under uncertainty remains an irreplaceable engineering skill in an increasingly automated field.

In a second session, Natalia moderated the panel "Breaking the Mould: How Engineering Leadership is Evolving," with speakers Anastasia Leutloff, MBA (TRUMPF), Roberta Colombo (Syensqo Specialty Polymers), and Eva Angelovska (Laminati Kom). The discussion explored the archetypes engineering leaders are expected to fit, the non-linear career paths that often shape the most resilient leaders, and what the next generation of engineers needs from those currently in leadership.

As a member of the Department of Computer Science at TU Dortmund and Co-Founder of Reframing Pioneers and Deep Tech Collective e.V., Natalia continues to advocate for the visibility of FLINTA and underrepresented groups in Deep Tech - both on academic and industry stages.
