Global stage for integrated industry
At the Hannover Messe 2016, all eyes will once again be on Industry 4.0 solutions. Over five action-packed days from April 25 to 29, some 5000 exhibitors will be showcasing the latest technologies for the factories and energy systems of tomorrow. The world’s key drivers of industrial digitization will all be in Hannover – among them German specialists from the fields of mechanical and electrical engineering and the electronics industry, as well as leading U. S. software providers and Asian firms likewise focused on digitizing industry. The event’s Partner Country for 2016 – the United States of America – will be presenting high-tech offerings “Made in the USA” while U. S. President Barack Obama will be lever-aging the trade fair for to promote the TTIP free trade agreement. For several years now, the Hannover Messe has played a major role in paving the way for Industry 4.0. Rarely in history has a technology had such a profound impact in such a short space of time. The new industrial era will gain further momentum at the Hannover Messe. Our Hannover Messe preview begins on page 41.
The world of mechanical processing technology will gather one week earlier, from April 19 to 21 at Powtech 2016 in Nuremberg. About 900 exhibitors will show their latest technologies for processing, analysing and handling powder and bulk solids. At the Powtech Technology Forum in Hall 3, visitors will receive practical tips for handling bulk solids in the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries on each day of the exhibition. The Forum will be hosted by the cpp, cav, dei and Pharmaproduktion magazines. We hope to see you there as well as at our stand in Hall 3A, Booth 256. Our preview of this event starts on page 10.
