Watching Your Calendar?

We're only 31 days away from the Hannover Messe Opening Ceremony! We have some important dates for you on the right, and encourage you to contact hannovermesse@trade.gov if you have any questions.

With the terrible events in Belgium this week, we want to ensure all exhibitors that the U.S. and German governments are working closely with the Hannover Messe team to ensure the safety of the trade show and all visitors. Here are some important links to help you stay informed and prepare for a safe trip:

We will continue to update our Exhibitor Info page to help you stay on top of updates, key dates, and opportunities.

Market Intel from the Experts!

We expect U.S. industrial automation equipment exports to Germany will grow through 2017 and beyond. Germany is the United States’ largest trading partner in Europe for industrial equipment, and U.S. industrial automation exports to Germany were over $545 million in 2015

U.S. industrial automation equipment exports to Germany have grown in the double-digits in recent years, despite facing headwinds like the climbing strength of the U.S. dollar. This growth is largely due to Germany's growing demand for technologies to improve manufacturing productivity, a fact most visible in the German Federal government's Plattform Industrie 4.0” initiative, which has already pumped more than €400 million of funding into applied research and commercialization for automation technologies.
