Production technologies are driving Germany forward as a high-tech country. The new Hightech-Agenda is heading in the right direction, but this progress is still only on paper.

Innovation starts with the right conversation: The EMO Startup Night with speed dating on September 23, 2025 brings established companies and startups together - for fresh impetus, new partnerships and real ideas for the future. Be there now!

Looking for fresh impetus for your company? Whether it's new technologies, digital innovations or sustainable solutions - at Startup Matchmaking at EMO Hannover, you can get in touch with the right partners quickly and in a targeted manner.

On July 1, 2025, a specialist workshop on the topic of "Artificial Intelligence in Production" took place at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (HAW Hamburg) as part of NORTEC.

Arriving at a meaningful overall cost picture at an early stage is a challenge for the company divisions involved.

In 2023, EMO Hannover attracted numerous company representatives from the production technology sector. It will take place again from September 22 to 26, 2025 and will further expand the focus on matchmaking between startups and corporates in the Startup Area.

2025 will be a highlight year for mechanical and plant engineering companies and startups. VDMA Startup-Machine connects young companies with established players in mechanical engineering at the leading industry events.

Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) technology offers a promising opportunity to reduce unavoidable CO₂ quantities. This involves not only capturing carbon dioxide, but also reusing it as a valuable raw material in industry.

The "Produktives.NRW" competition call supports investments in critical technologies in the areas of digital innovations, environmentally friendly and resource-efficient technologies and biotechnology in NRW.

For the Berlin startup AdaptX Systems, participation in the EMO Hannover Startup Area 2023 was worthwhile. Tim Bornemann, Co-Founder, shares his experiences with us and why an early trade fair presence is worthwhile for startups.
