The co-exhibitors at the HANNOVER joint booth at HANNOVER MESSE 2026 will showcase the region’s innovative strength under the theme “AI in Manufacturing.” They combine expertise from industry, software development, energy, and international networking with the goal of making concrete AI applications visible in practice, initiating collaborations, and fostering dialogue between regional companies, research institutions, investors, and international partners. The booth serves as a platform for technology transfer, business development, and strategic networking.

Smart Manufacturing and Digital Integration

The focus is on the efficient and sustainable design of industrial production through data-driven systems. WISTRO, a specialist in industrial fans and forced ventilation systems, represents core industrial expertise with electromechanical and custom solutions ranging from production technology to wind energy. Kalka Automation complements this with PLC programming and practical training, while sympacon TS combines manufacturing and digital business management via SAP Cloud ERP and AI integration—a synergy of automation, software, and intelligent data processing. Another key focus is the development of concrete AI solutions: ASSIST Software works on AI and robotics solutions for industry, logistics, and healthcare; Sightwise automates quality inspection using visual AI; Elodie Hive digitizes compliance processes; ventr supports strategic transformation; and DAISEC provides assistance with AI and cybersecurity solutions.

Holistic Transformation and International Networking

Intelligent technologies have an impact along the entire value chain: TDM optimizes service and communication processes with AI, Kubitur creates the basis for simulation and analysis using 3D models and digital twins, and skando energie combines energy efficiency with sustainable electricity market strategies. The trade show presence is supported by international and European networks such as EIT Manufacturing East GmbH, HIBS, China-Team, Crescendo Worldwide, and The New Mexico Partnership. These innovation partnerships lend the topic of “AI in Manufacturing” a global perspective.
