At the upcoming HANNOVER MESSE, the concept of the All Electric Society will be highlighted for the first time and on a large scale with its own arena.

The conference ‘Renewable Dialogue – North Sea Energy Hub’ will take place for the first time on 23rd April 2024 in the Convention Centre at the Hannover Exhibition Centre.

  Deutsche Telekom and Software AG have announced a strategic partnership to deliver IoT services on a global scale. Deutsche Telekom and its enterprise customer unit T-Systems will expand their Cloud of Things offering, using Software AG’s Cumulocity IoT platform.

  German Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel and Mexican President Peña Nieto set the tone on day one of the HANNOVER MESSE/CeMAT double-header. Asked to shake hands with a robot, they both went for the more casual fist bump - a symbol for the relaxed, natural interaction of humans with digitisation, robots and machine learning.

Sometimes cobots are treated like humans; well this is certainly the case at the ‘Robozän’ temp agency, which actually leases robots to companies at just minimum wage. Designed to make our work easier, Cobots can execute monotonous or particularly hazardous tasks reliably and without complaint.

Let’s combine the ideas, robots that build other robots, machines that learn from their mistakes, energy systems that manage themselves, and involve a large amount of people and we have this year’s HANNOVER MESSE. It maybe the age of Industry 4.0 and ubiquitous digitalisation, but humans are now more central to the innovations on show at the world’s leading industrial technology fair than they have ever been before.
