Casey Porter Editor, Electrical Engineering Magazine
elcome to the February issue of Electrical Engineering Magazine! Another month in the industry has arrived, and with it another issue of EE! So, what have we brought you this month?
This year, we are once again proud to partner with Data Centre World 2026 as official Media Partners. In
the lead-up to the event, and across the two days themselves, we’ll be bringing you exclusive insights, updates and highlights via our social platforms, website and digital issue, ensuring you don’t miss a moment. Ahead of the event, we’ve also created a preview supplement, offering a snapshot of what visitors
can expect this March. Among the exhibitors featured, Carrier will present its ‘Data Centre Cooling Solutions with QuantumLeap’, while Phoenix Contact will have ‘experts on hand to discuss sustainable solutions for data centre infrastructure’. ABB is set to ‘demonstrate AI-ready solutions for the next generation of data centres’, and Vertiv will ‘showcase how it is turning the “Grid-to-Chip” concept into a practical reality’. Meanwhile, Eland Cables looks forward to ‘engaging with an industry in which it continues to grow its presence’. Be sure to take a look at our supplement and see what these industry titans have in store for the two days. In this month’s issue, we also revisit our core themes: AI, EV, Cables and Safety in Engineering. I’ve had
the opportunity to speak with several companies to gain deeper insight into these evolving markets. If you’d like to connect and discuss all things electrical engineering, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. And with Spring just around the corner and the world getting back out, be
sure to keep up to date with our social news feeds to keep up to date with industry events and Editor travels!
