HANNOVER MESSE – THE WAIT IS OVER

Hannover Messe 2015, the world’s biggest industrial fair, takes place from 13–17 April. The event will showcase products and technologies from companies throughout the world, as well as providing a forum for discussion on some of the biggest trends in manufacturing.

Since its establishment, Hannover Messe has been the place to find out about the most innovative, game-changing technologies developments – and the 2015 edition of the show will be no exception. Here, visitors can meet decisions-makers, investors and developers across the whole spectrum of industrial manufacturing. Whatever you are looking for – you will find it at Hannover Messe. Core sectors covered by this year’s show include: • Industrial Automation and IT – Discover the latest innovations in production and process automation, robotics, assembly and materials handling systems. Find out why technical professionals in the mechanical engineering sector have to embrace change in order to keep up with the fourth industrial revolution. Discover Industry 4.0 up close and its implications for global manufacturing. • Energy & Environmental Engineering – Over the course of the five days visitors can discover the latest innovations in renewable and conventional forms of energy – from environmentally friendly production to transmission and storage. Find out about how new drive technologies are paving the way to high-performance, resource-conserving electromobility. • Power Transmission & Control – Aside from IT, power transmission and control are core components of the smart factory. Machines, equipment and materials exchange information digitally, autonomously monitoring their condition and optimising their operation during running production. Without innovations from power transmission and control, there would be no smart factory. Hannover Messe will bring together all the new developments and concepts into a single venue. • Industrial Subcontracting & Production Engineering – Find out about how developments in the subcontracting sector (such as lightweight construction, nanostructures and laser technology) as well as compressed air and vacuum technology and surface technologies form the foundation for groundbreaking products and processes. Get to know the tools that can revolutionise your production processes and experience cross-industry innovations live at Hannover Messe.

Research & Development

As always, another key priority for Hannover Messe will be the showcasing of the latest product and technological developments. From initial concepts to groundbreaking innovations, every phase of industrial research is on show at Hannover Messe. Whether the topic involves cross-sector applications for the transition to renewable forms of energy or highly specialised solutions in microsystems engineering, research & development are the drivers of modern industry. Numerous events, including the now-traditional Night of Innovations, will provide unique opportunities for visitors to network and develop their ideas.
