“HANNOVER MESSE has once again shown that it is the most important platform for industrial innovation. AI in industrial applications was of particular interest to visitors, especially those from abroad. This shows that German industry can continue to offer a global orientation in times of technological change. Our companies are leaders in Industrie 4.0, and we are convinced that we can further expand this very good starting position. Industrial AI is a new growth area that will continue to drive the automation and digitalization of industry. HANNOVER MESSE will reflect this development in the coming years.”
Thilo Brodtmann, Managing Director of the VDMA
“This year's HANNOVER MESSE has shown in particular how important good partnerships and open markets are for an export and innovation-driven industry such as machine building and plant engineering. The willingness of host country Canada to deepen trade with Europe is welcome and encouraging news in a world increasingly characterized by trade disputes. In order to master the major tasks that lie ahead of us, we need innovations such as those impressively demonstrated in all halls at the event. This year, HANNOVER MESSE also sent a particularly strong economic policy signal to Berlin: The industrial sector urgently needs a location upgrade in order to continue demonstrating its innovative strength here in the country.”
