By Isabelle Robinson, M.Sc.Feb 28 2019Hannover Messe began in 1947 and, more than 70 years later, has become one of the world’s largest trade fairs, typically hosting 6500 exhibits and 250,000 visitors per year.
The trade fair was first held in a factory building in Laatzen, South Hanover, in an arrangement with the British military. The show aimed at helping boost the post-war economy by highlighting the latest equipment and research. Known as Fischbrötchenmesse, the event has been held every year since with an increasing number of companies, exhibits, and visitors to West Germany.

The themes of the six trade shows are:
- Integrated Energy
- Industrial Supply
- Research and Technology
- ComVac
- Digital Factory
- IAMD
Integrated Energy
Integrated Energy highlights technology for integrated energy systems, heating, and mobility. There has been a rising demand for flexible, intelligently designed power systems. Exhibits include key industry players who will discuss how to develop the future of charging infrastructure and how to significantly cut costs by using efficient energy systems, in a decentralized energy market.
Industrial Supply
It is known that suppliers are the most important driver of industrial digitization and therefore this trade show gives international suppliers a chance to exhibit a variety of solutions and products and present themselves as reliable partners. Key topics, such as smart systems, materials, processes, and lightweight construction will be found in this area of the convention.
Research and Technology
