The next Hannover Messe will be held from March 31 to April 4, 2025, under the motto "Energizing a sustainable industry". At the upcoming industrial trade fair, international companies from the mechanical engineering, electrical and digital industries as well as the energy sector will present their solutions for resource-efficient, climate-neutral and resilient production. In 2024, more than 130,000 visitors came to the exhibition grounds in Hanover.
The Hannover Messe currently comprises seven exhibition areas: Smart Manufacturing, Digital Ecosystems, Energy for Industry, Compressed Air & Vacuum, Engineered Parts & Solutions, International Trade & Invest, Future Hub and also the areas for Conferences & Events. Solutions on topics such as CO2-neutral production, resilient supply chains, Industry 4.0, artificial intelligence, platform economy, IT security, Logistics 4.0, circular economy or hydrogen and fuel cells will be on display. From the digitalization of complex production processes and the use of hydrogen to operate entire production plants to the use of software to record and reduce the carbon footprint, the trade fair offers a holistic photo of the technological possibilities for the industry of today and tomorrow.

Review of the 2024 trade fair
Over 130,000 visitors from 150 countries came to Hannover Messe 2024 to talk to the 4,000 exhibiting companies and 300 start-ups about how they can digitalize their value chains and make them more resilient. More than 40 percent of visitors came from abroad. After Germany, the most important visitor countries were China, the Netherlands, the USA, Korea and Japan. In addition, more than 300 economic policy delegations from all over the world visited the industry trade fair. The event has thus proven that it combines the best of technology innovation, business trade fair and economic policy agenda-setting worldwide. This makes it the "driving force behind the incipient upswing" in Germany and Europe, and not just for Federal Economics Minister Robert Habeck.
