Hannover Messe 2026

HANNOVER MESSE 2026 opens its doors from April 20 to 24. Under the motto "Think Tech Forward", it will set new standards for industrial transformation. The focus will be on automation, digitalization and the use of artificial intelligence to revolutionize production processes. Sustainable energy solutions such as hydrogen technologies and resilient infrastructures characterize the Energy & Industrial Infrastructure area. With the new Defense Production Area and Brazil as a partner country, the trade fair underlines its role as a global platform for innovation and cooperation.

Around 3,500 companies will be showcasing the latest technologies from the mechanical and plant engineering, electrical and digital industries, and the energy sector. Mechanical and plant engineering occupies a prominent position in this dynamic atmosphere. As a developer and user of cutting-edge technologies and innovations, it is at the heart of the transformation.

VDMA and its member companies will highlight this at their stands and in the newly designed supporting program. Visit Hannover Messe to experience mechanical engineering up close and meet the VDMA on site. We look forward to seeing you there!
