Efficiency within individual industrial sectors has been a predominant topic for years. Designing industrial processes requires more than just mere efficiency.
It requires the intelligent interconnection and exploitation of all the individual efficiency factors. 'Smart efficiency' integrates the factors of cost, process and resource efficiency. Only the intelligent interaction of these factors can guarantee a long-term presence for companies in the marketplace and help them remain internationally competitive. The concrete upshot of this involves the economical, conservative use of energy and materials, the optimization of production processes and cost-efficient management policies.
Under the banner of 'Smart Efficiency', the companies exhibiting at the 13 international flagship fairs during HANNOVER MESSE 2011 will be presenting key technologies used in industry around the world. The concept 'Smart Efficiency' refers to the intelligent interplay of cost, process and resource efficiency. The special events at HANNOVER MESSE, which runs from 4 to 8 April, also embrace the core elements of 'Smart Efficiency' during lectures, congresses and forums, as well as seminars and workshops.
Metropolitan Solutions, the new display category in Hall 8, showcases innovations relating to urban infrastructures and cities. The leading trade shows Industrial Automation, Energy, Wind, Power Plant Technology and MobiliTec already highlight innovative developments in the fields of automation, energy and mobility. Metropolitan Solutions ties in with these areas, offering companies an international platform where they can exhibit forward-looking models for municipal energy, water, mobility and building infrastructures. This display category features in-depth presentations of high-profile projects. Topics here include 'smart grids' for the supply of energy in conurbations, the creation of nation-wide charging infrastructures, energy-efficient building concepts and innovative methods for obtaining drinking water. The exhibition will be accompanied by a high-prestige forum.
The 'Efficiency Arena' in Hall 15 comprises an exhibition section and a lecture program. This is where companies will showcase solutions focusing on energy-supply optimization, including state-of-the-art technologies, services and selected projects designed to improve energy efficiency. The Efficiency Arena's varied lecture program covers all areas relating to industrial processes - from materials handling, ventilation, compression and pumping to heating and cooling.
The HERMES AWARD will be presented for the eighth time during the opening ceremony at HANNOVER MESSE 2011. It is considered to be one of the world's most prestigious technology prizes and, since 2004, has been awarded annually to a company that has developed an outstanding innovation. The award celebrates products that have already undergone industrial trials and/or are already used in industry. Applications may be submitted by any company or organization exhibiting at HANNOVER MESSE from 4 to 8 April 2011.
In 2011, the Centre for Recruitment and Training will form part of the Job & Career Market in Hall 7. This is where companies from various industries offer detailed information about career opportunities, using the special show to attract the attention of suitable applicants within a business environment. Executives, young professionals, career entrants and students will have the opportunity to talk face-to-face with company managers from the technology sector about job applications and interviews. A host of supplementary activities rounds off the Job & Career Market. The Career Info stand and exhibitors' 'LogoBoard' serve as a key venue for all those interested in the job and career market. The Career Talks Forum, meanwhile, allows companies to provide information on job vacancies, openings for career entrants and career opportunities. The JobBoard will provide information about vacancies at exhibiting companies, while the CareerCheck serves as a careers guidance centre at the show. Graduates from technical faculties can take advantage of 'Guided Career Tours', which will take them to the show in a shuttle bus and then provide a personal tour to the exhibition stands. Finally, the CareerLounge and the HR ClubbingLounge offer networking opportunities for job seekers, HR managers and recruitment personnel.
Together with the German government, the organizers of HANNOVER MESSE are launching TectoYou, a long-term initiative aimed at getting young people interested in technology and encouraging them to pursue careers in engineering and other technical fields.
The eighth "WoMenPower" conference will be held during HANNOVER MESSE on Friday, 8 April 2011. Numerous workshops, seminars and discussion forums will centre on careers information and guidance. The conference program is complemented by an exhibition and guided tours of the show. WoMenPower is aimed at both men and women with the goal of ensuring a balance between family and professional life.
Activities focused on foreign markets are helping German businesses to emerge successfully from the economic crisis. A particularly positive impact has been felt from operations in emerging markets, which have become the new mainstay of export performance. Throughout the crisis years, encouraging business to get involved in growth markets has been the special role of Global Business & Markets, HANNOVER MESSE's central service platform for foreign trade.
As in previous years, HANNOVER MESSE's b2fair matchmaking event will see numerous companies talking to each other about doing business together in their target markets abroad. In 2011, the organizers will also invite the network of German foreign trade chambers to conduct tailored advisory meetings with entrepreneurs on opportunities for specific projects.
