Global stage for integrated industry

Hannover Messe 2016 is the global hotspot for Industry 4.0 solutions. “In April, the world’s key drivers of industrial digitalisation will all be in Hanover – 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, which focuse on making industrial digitalisation a tangible reality,” remarked Dr. Jochen Köckler of the Deutsche Messe Managing Board. With its focus on industrial automation and energy and a strong line-up of some 5000 exhibitors from 70 different countries, Hannover Messe is the perfect platform for constructive dialogues on the road to the next industrial revolution. True to the fair’s 2016 lead theme of “Integrated Industry – Discover Solutions”, visitors will be treated to promising ways of making their factories and energy systems smart by means of digital technology. Over 100 examples of real-world implementations of Industry 4.0 are expected to be showcased. This year’s partner country, the United States of America, will be injecting the trade fair with even more power and appeal. Leading companies from the world’s biggest economy will come to the fair to present their latest solutions for advanced manufacturing. The fact that President Obama will be jointly opening the show with Chancellor Merkel makes a strong statement on the pivotal importance of Hannover Messe as a global stage.
