EVENT Hannover Messe 2022
Finding a balance between energy
supply security and climate change The world is experiencing a turning point in international economic and energy policy – one that brings with it rising energy prices, disrupted supply chains and a major impact on global industrial production. At the same time, a growing number of manufacturers are doing their part to combat climate change. The world needs speedy solutions in this area: political, economic and technological. Hannover Messe 2022 is the ideal setting.
F
rom 30 May to 2 June, some 2,500 companies will display their technologies for the factories and energy
systems of the future at the Hannover Exhibition Centre, Germany. Under the lead theme of “Industrial Transformation”, they will demonstrate how connected production facilities can operate more effi ciently and conserve resources, as well as how to sustainably generate and transmit energy. “In view of the current global political situation, the topics at Hannover Messe are more relevant than ever,” said Dr. Jochen Köckler, CEO of Deutsche Messe. “At the heart of the matter is how we can ensure security of supply and growth in a dynamically changing world – politically, environmentally and economically – while counteracting climate change. Innovative technologies will play a key role in this.”
Exhibiting companies include corporations like Siemens, Bosch, Schneider Electric, Schaeffl er, Microsoft, SAP and Service Now, joined by many medium-sized industrial enterprises such as Beckhoff , Festo, Harting, Pepperl+Fuchs, Phoenix Contact, Wago and Ziehl-Abegg. Accompanying them are major research institutes like Fraunhofer and Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT) and some 100 startups that fi nd Hannover Messe an ideal platform for networking with industry.
Green energies and hydrogen When it comes to CO2
-neutral production
and energy security in Europe, renewable energies and green hydrogen play a key role. Many companies already lead the way with concrete solutions. For example, Hannover Messe exhibitor Bosch created a hydrogen cycle at its Industry 4.0 facility that produces green hydrogen for industrial processes. Because of the current energy supply debate, the topic of hydrogen is gaining further importance at Hannover Messe. “We have off ered the largest European

In Hannover, more than 200 companies – including Iberdrola, Saint Gobain, Emerson, ElringKlinger, Plug Power, Siemens, Phoenix Contact, Enapter, Bosch, Hexagon Purus, Nel Hydrogen, Hydrogenious and GP Joule – present solutions for a sustainable energy supply based on hydrogen derived from renewable energy sources,” said Köckler.
Combating climate change Europe is striving to become climate-neutral by the middle of the millennium. More and more companies have set ambitious goals and are in the process of completely converting their production and services. Hannover Messe exhibitors supply the necessary technologies. Not only can the production of virtually all goods be made more resource-conserving and energy-effi cient with the help of state-of-the-art machinery and equipment, but solutions from mechanical and plant engineering, electrical engineering and the software and IT industry can also vastly improve the control processes of complex systems, thus boosting innovation and reducing greenhouse gas emissions around the world. Recording the CO2
footprint across entire
supply chains is often the fi rst step towards climate neutrality. Hannover Messe exhibitor Siemens has developed software that captures emissions data along the supply

have registered for Hannover Messe 2022. Under the motto “Portugal Makes Sense”, they present their products and solutions for digital transformation, the energy transition and reliable supply chains. Other political dignitaries, such as
Frans Timmermanns, Vice President of the European Commission, and Bettina Stark- Watzinger, Federal Minister of Education and Research, have also confi rmed their attendance. This means that after a two- year coronavirus break, Hannover Messe once again provides an international stage for economic policy discourse. According to Köckler: “At the end of May, the global industrial community will be looking to Hannover. This year in particular, Hannover Messe 2022 can send economic policy signals and build bridges.”
In addition to the exhibits at the show, attendees can look forward to a fi rst-rate supporting program. The four conference stages cover topics like automation, cloud and infrastructure, analytics and data management, digital platforms, robotics, IT security, artifi cial intelligence, renewable energies, green hydrogen, energy-effi cient and CO2
-neutral production, digital energy
management, the circular economy and much more. The complete program will not only be available to visitors on-site, but will also stream simultaneously via the Hannover Messe website:
