Hannover. The future of industry lies in intelligent networking and the application of artificial intelligence. Digital ecosystems enable companies to collaborate across platforms, securely share data, and drive innovation collectively. Exhibitors including Accenture, Aleph Alpha, Altair, Autodesk, AWS, Capgemini, DELL, Google Cloud, Ericsson, Hexagon, Formlabs, HPE, Microsoft, PTC and SAP will show how these digital ecosystems work, both on their stands as well on the Digital Transformation Conference Stage, the new knowledge platform at HANNOVER MESSE.
"With the Digital Transformation Stage, we are creating a key platform for actively addressing overarching issues related to digitalization. The program reflects the up-to-the-minute trends at HANNOVER MESSE, and provides orientation when it comes to digitalized processes in industry," says Thomas Möller, Senior Project Director at Deutsche Messe.
The attractiveness of the Digital Ecosystems exhibition area is such that several new exhibitors have registered their participation in 2025, including IFS, infodas, EY and BCG, COMSOL Multiphysics, Lenovo, EDAG and STACKIT, the Schwarz Group's cloud provider. They are sure to enhance the focus of the topics addressed in the area, for example Industrie 4.0. The networking of machines, plants, and systems via IIoT and wireless technologies, such as 5G, LoRaWAN or NB-IoT, are basic prerequisites for competitive processes and new business models. Artificial intelligence and machine learning, as well as big data, data analysis or cloud computing, are other topics featured in the exhibition area. They provide the tools to monitor production processes, detect anomalies, and thus enable reliable predictive maintenance.
A special role is played by digital twins – virtual models of production facilities or processes that are connected to their physical counterparts in real time so as to conduct simulation and optimization measures before changes actually become necessary in the real world. The digital twin boosts efficiency, cuts costs, and thus contributes to the sustainable design of production processes.
Additive manufacturing is currently revolutionizing the world of production, as it not only makes for added flexibility and efficiency, but also facilitates access to customized and innovative products. Besides simulation and PLM providers, exhibitors on the topic of additive manufacturing will also be present – a feature unique in the market and representing a logical progression of the supply chain.
The Digital Ecosystems exhibition area includes a group exhibit – the Industrial Security Circus - dedicated to the increasingly important topic of cybersecurity. Cyber attacks are now considered one of the biggest business risks globally. There are technical solutions for protecting companies, however, and these will be showcased at the group exhibit.
HANNOVER MESSE
HANNOVER MESSE is the world's leading trade fair for industry.
