Around 3,000 exhibiting companies are expected, while recent visitor data shows approximately 110,000 visitors from 146 countries. Spain is the Partner Country for 2027.

Purpose and Objectives

The primary purpose of HANNOVER MESSE is to connect industrial companies with technologies and solutions that improve competitiveness, productivity, efficiency, and sustainability. The 2027 edition places particular emphasis on the practical application of artificial intelligence in industrial environments, alongside automation, digitalisation, energy infrastructure, engineering, and technology transfer.

Key Activities

The event combines a large-scale exhibition with conferences, keynotes, panel discussions, technology demonstrations, special displays, awards, and professional networking. Its main exhibition areas include Automation & Digitalization, Energy & Industrial Infrastructure, and Research & Technology Transfer, with industrial AI integrated across the programme. Dedicated technology presentations also provide focused environments for emerging industrial solutions and business discussions.

Significance

HANNOVER MESSE is significant because it brings together multiple parts of the industrial economy within one international platform, allowing manufacturers, technology suppliers, energy companies, researchers, and policymakers to assess new technologies and investment priorities. The 2027 edition also introduces a more concentrated four-day format, intended to increase the efficiency of business meetings and visitor engagement.

Expected Outcomes

Attendees can expect direct access to industrial technology providers, new product and technology demonstrations, international business contacts, and practical insight into AI, automation, energy systems, digital infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing. The event is intended to support purchasing decisions, technology partnerships, investment discussions, international market development, and collaboration between industry and research organisations.
