The world’s most important technology event

HANNOVER MESSE remains the world's leading showcase for industrial technology. Better, faster, more effective: to survive and prosper in the face of global competition, companies need to constantly maintain and improve their performance potential. Leading-edge technology plays a pivotal role in corporate competitiveness.

There’s something in the air: Innovations in Hannover.

HANNOVER MESSE is the ideal place to obtain the latest industrial know-how. Established sixty years ago, HANNOVER MESSE today ranks as the leading international showplace for industrial technologies, materials and product ideas.

Only at Hannover can the visitor experience complete value chains and swap information with experts from a complete spectrum of industrial sectors.

HANNOVER MESSE 2009 will consist of 14 international flagship trade fairs. In 2008, the 5,100 participating exhibitors from over 60 different nations offered an impressive demonstration of the industrial state of the art. Visitor numbers surged to around 200,000 - an increase of approximately 30 percent over HANNOVER MESSE 2006 as the most recent edition of the fair of similar scope.
