Hannover Messe 2009
Between 20 and 24 April Hannover Messe will host 13 flagship trade fairs adding up to the world’s largest and most important showcase
for industrial technology.
In 2009 the spotlight will be on industrial automation,
energy technologies, power transmission and control,
mobility, industrial subcontracting and new technologies
for the future. Top of the agenda will be energy efficiency
in industrial processes, which as well as featuring heavily
amongst exhibiting companies, will be the focus of attention
at a special display in Hall 26, which will concentrate
on reference projects and a model production plant
exemplifying energy efficiency in action.
New to the Hannover programme is Wind, a trade
fair targeted at manufacturers of wind generation plant,
components or services suppliers, installers, plant operators
and project financiers. The partner country for the whole
event this year is Korea, the EU’s fourth largest trading
partner, from which 200 companies have so far booked
space.
By February Hannover reported a total of around 6,000
exhibitors occupying 200,000 square metres of exhibition
space, with the organiser now expecting the 2009 fair to
reach a similar scale to previous events. More than 1,000
supporting events, including seminars, forums and workshops, featuring an impressive line-up of speakers, will afford visitors the opportunity to
engage in-depth with issues affecting everyone’s future.
“It is precisely when economic conditions are difficult that Hannover Messe comes into its own”, says Dr. Wolfram von Fritsch, chairman of the
board of Deutsche Messe AG. “It provides an overview of various branches of industry that work together to make progress possible. At the same
time it focuses our attention on issues that are more important than ever at times of crisis - issues such as energy efficiency and technological
leadership.”
