Upcoming Trade Shows Hannover, Germany for Industrial Engineering

The industrial engineering industry in Hannover has been at the forefront of a lot of innovation and finds the opportunity to reach a global audience through Hannover Messe, one of the premier trade fairs for industrial technology. The last edition did an important job of highlighting the new crop of startups aiming to break into the industrial sector. More than 300 young companies took advantage of the fair to network with industry representatives, supported by targeted networking opportunities and master classes. The exchange between startups, investors, and industrial companies was notably more intensive than in previous years, which has led organisers to make it a point more resources into this aspect of the trade fair. The fair also served as a forum for addressing critical economic issues. Competitive energy costs, the expansion of digital infrastructure, streamlined approval procedures, reduction of unnecessary bureaucracy, and the influx of qualified workers were top agenda items for the over 300 economic policy delegations that visited the event. These discussions are vital for shaping the future of industrial engineering in Germany and ensuring the country remains competitive on a global scale. Norway, the official partner country of Hannover Messe 2024, showcased its leadership in the green industrial transition under the theme Pioneering the Green Industrial Transition. Norway highlighted digital technology and sustainable manufacturing solutions, with a strong focus on clean energy, including renewables, hydrogen, ammonia, and carbon capture and storage (CCS). The Norwegian pavilion featured key players such as Statkraft, Equinor, Yara, and Siemens. Yara presented the world's first clean ammonia-powered container ship, Yara Eyde, which will enable the first green shipping route between Norway and Germany. The success of the trade fair, which reached record-breaking numbers, positions the industrial engineering industry in Hannover front and centre on the global stage.
