Running from 20 to 24 April 2009, this year’s Hannover Messe features new content such as the trade fair Wind, another round of the World Energy Dialogue with a very full program, and numerous special displays highlighting topical issues in automation, power transmission and control, subcontracting and R&D. With around 6,000 exhibitors and more than 200,000 m2 of stand bookings, it now looks as if this year’s show will be similar in size to its recent predecessors. “It is precisely when economic conditions are difficult that Hannover Messe comes into its own”, says Dr. Wolfram von Fritsch, Chairman of the Board of Deutsche Messe AG. “It provides an overview of various branches of industry that work together to make progress possible. At the same time it focuses our attention on issues that are more important than ever at times of crisis – issues such as energy efficiency and technological leadership.” Hannover Messe 2009 brings together 13 flagship trade fairs under one roof. The portfolio for 2009 includes the Interkama+, Factory Automation, Industrial Building Automation, Digital Factory, Subcontracting, Energy, Power Plant Technology, MicroTechnology and Research & Technology. Back on the program again this year are three more trade shows that are staged on a two-yearly cycle, namely Motion, Drive & Automation, SurfaceTechnology and ComVac. And joining the line-up for the first time is the trade fair Wind. The No.1 theme this year is energy efficiency. Every sector of industry now faces the challenge of using resources more efficiently and developing energy-efficient products and processes. Consequently, this theme is to be found in virtually every presentation by exhibiting firms. And it is the focus of attention at the special display “Energy Efficiency in Industrial Processes” in Hall 26. Here the main emphasis is on concrete applications, solutions and consultancy. The exhibits will include reference projects and a model production plant that exemplifies energy efficiency in action.
