Sustainably successful in Hannover

Businesses face a large number of challenges today: high commodity prices, energy costs, and ever more demanding customers ensure that SMEs and major companies are raising the priorities they place on resource-saving products and processes. Green technologies are rising up the agendas of corporate activity - and are therefore the focus of this year's HANNOVER MESSE with its current theme greentelligence - the ideal place to promote sustainable issues and technologies, and to successfully implement the transfer of knowledge between research and industry. Integrating environmentally-compatible materials and efficient processes requires outstanding performances from science and industry because without research and development there will be no intelligent green solutions. And this is precisely where Hannover can provide an outstanding environment - according to stand-motto: Producing with responsibility, and as reflected in our series of talks.
