Hannover Messe 2026

HANNOVER MESSE runs from 20 to 24 April 2026. As the world's major trade fair for manufacturing, it presents all key technologies for industrial transformation – from automation and digitalization to energy systems and research and development.

One of the three main exhibition clusters is “Research & Technology Transfer” in Hall 11, where institutions, universities, young companies, and entrepreneurs present their innovations, projects, and prototypes for manufacturing now and in the future. The area features two focal points: “Research & Innovation Transfer” and “Startups”.

The focus is on the results of basic and applied industrial research as well as the transfer of market-ready technologies into industrial applications. Visitors discover pioneering developments in fields such as artificial intelligence, bionics, intelligent textiles, nanotechnology, new materials, and quantum technology.
