HANNOVER MESSE outlines programme for 2026
With a host of new formats and content offerings, next year's Hannover Messe will offer exhibiting companies a diversity of opportunities and options for participation. The goal is to facilitate even more targeted networking between exhibitors and visitors, encouraging productive exchange on innovations, technologies, and industrial trends.
The program will feature inspiring keynotes, hands-on masterclasses, dynamic speed-dating sessions, and interactive roundtables. Exhibitors interested in contributing to the various participation formats are invited to submit their proposals by January 30, 2026.
The new Solutions Labs in Halls 11, 12, and 26 will form the thematic clusters of the upcoming HANNOVER MESSE, with the focus on interactive forums. Designed for practical dialogue and expert exchange, these forums will host curated sessions in which leading experts from industry, research, and the startup scene will collaborate on specific solutions and refine innovative ideas.
The new Centre Stage in Hall 24 will serve as a global platform for visionaries, decision-makers, and innovators. It will spotlight industry's most critical future topics - from Industry 4.0 and artificial intelligence to energy solutions, sustainable production and mobility. The agenda will include international keynotes, panel discussions, live demonstrations, and startup pitches.
