Hannover Messe - Turbocharged industry revs up the recovery machine
The world’s foremost technology event, Hannover Messe 2011, ended with the best outcome in 10 years. “This year’s event in Hannover has given industry a real boost, powering it up to drive the economic recovery,” commented Deutsche Messe managing board chairman Dr. Wolfram von Fritsch at the end-of-show press conference in Hannover on Friday 8th
April. H
e added: “This Hannover Messe has generated even more momentum for industry as the force behind the economic upswing.” Over 6,500 businesses from 65 countries came to Hannover to display their solutions. Positive economic indicators meant that exhibitors had arrived
with high expectations. But according to Wolfram von Fritsch, Hannover Messe 2011 “even surpassed those high expectations - with the right themes, over 5,000 innovations on exhibit, and significantly greater international participation”. ‘Smart Efficiency’ as the keynote theme for Hannover Messe
2011 was the common thread running through the majority of this year’s displays, and was also addressed in the many debates and forums featured at the event. “A total of over 60 forums drew greater attendance than ever before – 30% up on 2009 as the most recent show of comparable scope. This further consolidates Hannover Messe’s position as the world’s leading platform for technology and knowledge transfer.” Energy and automation topics were at the very heart of visitor
interest. “Major emphasis was placed on the energy mix for the future, as well as on energy efficiency. The message from Hannover is very clear: There are promising ways of saving energy right now, and we can do this faster than the time it takes to build new plants. Hannover Messe has shown that industry is
already able to provide the efficient technologies needed; now it’s a matter of putting them to work. Experts estimate the total savings potential at around 30%,” von Fritsch noted, adding that each of the sectors covered by Hannover Messe had profited greatly from concerted efforts to bring the energy topic to the forefront of interest over the past several years. Hannover Messe 2011 attracted a total of well over 230,000
visitors. This represents growth of 10% - 15% over the comparable 2009 event. Some 60,000 of these visitors were from abroad, which is over a third more than in 2009. “Our foreign visitors, alone, would have filled over 150 jumbo jets,” said a delighted von Fritsch. “Attendance was up from every country, thus bringing tangible benefit to exhibitors in every sub-section of the event.” One in every three visitors was a member of top management, marking a 20% increase in this category. Germany’s federal chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel and the
French prime minister Francois Fillon opened Hannover Messe 2011 on 3rd
VIPs, among whom were over 120 political delegations from abroad. “France as this year’s Partner Country presented its profile as an innovative industrial nation and a strong partner for the German economy,” commented von Fritsch. The next Hannover Messe will be staged from 23rd
– 27th
