HANNOVER MESSE

Covid-19 Update

The hybrid edition of Hannover Messe and CeMAT 2022 was a resounding success. It showed that there are ways to keep important conversations alive. It additionally showed that it is possible to establish connections within the industry. Hannover Messe 2023 will return to Messe Hannover as a live event. The latest dates for the in-house event are April 17th—April 21st. Due to the removal of Germany's domestic Covid-19 restrictions, the venue will not feature strict coronavirus safety measures. Attendees will be highly encouraged to follow recommendations, such as performing frequent hand hygiene. Participants should note that between 01.06.2022 and at least 31.08.2022 Germany will not have travel restrictions in place apart from the policy that visitors arriving from a virus variant area need to be quarantined for 14 days despite their health status. At present, the list does not include any country. 

Calling Card 

HANNOVER MESSE is the engine that drives the industrial technology industry in Germany ever since the end of WWII. It is one of the most important procurement platforms in the country for this particular reason and has become the heart of the German industrial sector. The international trade show is staged, as the name says, in Messe Hannover on an annual basis. Editions are held at the beginning of spring, usually in April, and run for five days in total. As a key meeting place between supply and demand in Germany, HANNOVER MESSE gives national exhibitors the chance to grow their client list and expand their business to international markets. The trade show services the entire value chain and is also a place for innovations.
