After a two year absence of a physical event, the 2022 event will return to its structure as a physical event and will take place from 25-29th April. In addition, it will also showcase a range of digital services for exhibitors and visitors, creating a hybrid experience for delegates. 2022’s event will focus on the lead theme of “industrial transformation,” with a particular focus on digitalisation and decarbonisation of industry.
“The past few months have shown that digital formats cannot replace a real trade fair,” said Dr Jochen Köckler, CEO of Deutsche Messe AG. “In April 2022, a full Hannover Exhibition Center will spotlight innovations and foster face-to-face contact. Visitors worldwide will find new solutions suppliers for the automation and digitalisation of their production processes. Furthermore, we focus on climate protection. The exhibitors will showcase new technologies and services that significantly reduce CO2 emissions of industrial companies.”
Within digitisation, subtopics will include networking, data analytics, AI, IoT, and IT security. Delegates will have a chance to hear from experts from the electrical engineering, mechanical and plant engineering, software and IT sectors on how organisations can implement these technologies.
The decarbonisation of the industry will focus on the reduction of CO2 emissions as the industry seeks to take greater responsibility for environmental protection. Hannover Messe will host several leaders from the energy sector who will advise organisations on how best to build this into a corporate roadmap to reach national and international climate goals.
