ABOUT THE FAIR
HANNOVER MESSE is the world’s leading industrial trade fair and, since its inception in 1947, has served as a central meeting point for technological innovation and forward-looking industrial solutions. It is held annually at the extensive exhibition grounds in Hanover and is organised by Deutsche Messe AG, one of the world’s foremost trade fair organisers, headquartered in Germany.
The event covers a broad spectrum of future-oriented topics, ranging from automation and digitalisation to industrial IT, artificial intelligence and robotics, as well as energy infrastructure, hydrogen technologies and technology transfer. Companies showcase practical solutions for intelligent, connected and climate-neutral production – from individual components and complex automation systems through to fully digitalised smart factories. Particular emphasis is placed on applications of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), cloud-based platforms, IT/OT security, and technologies for CO₂ reduction and sustainable energy supply.
HANNOVER MESSE is not merely an exhibition but also a global marketplace for innovation and business development. Exhibitors represent sectors such as mechanical engineering, the electrical industry, the digital economy, energy supply, component manufacturing and research. The event is aimed at a specialist audience, including engineers, procurement professionals, developers and decision-makers from industry, government and academia. It is complemented by an extensive conference programme addressing key challenges such as energy shortages, resilient supply chains and industrial transformation in an international context.
HANNOVER MESSE reflects Germany’s economic strength and capacity for innovation while serving as a global showcase for industrial technologies of the future. The modern exhibition grounds are among the largest in the world and benefit from excellent transport links, including Hanover International Airport and a dense network of rail and motorway connections. As such, the event provides ideal conditions for high-level international exchange.
The HANNOVER MESSE will take place on 5 days from Monday, 05. April to Friday, 09. April 2027 in Hanover.
