Hannover Messe 2025, a global innovation hub, will take place from March 31 to April 4, 2025, in Hannover Germany. The event will focus on “Shaping the Future with Technology,” attracting visitors and showcasing technological advancements.

​The prestigious Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Colaba, Mumbai, was the venue for the press briefing ahead of Hannover Messe 2025. Set to take place from March 31 to April 6, 2025, at the Hannover Fairgrounds in Hannover, Germany, the event will focus on the theme, “Industrial Transformation – Energizing a Sustainable Industry.” 

Innovation Takes Center Stage at Hannover Messe 2025
During the press event, Hubertus von Monschaw, Global Director of Trade Fair & Product Management at Hannover Messe, spoke about the fair’s preparedness and growing reputation as a global innovation hub. He emphasized that the fair will not only showcase cutting-edge technological developments but will also be a platform for industries to present their innovations. “We are actively inviting visitors and conveying the message that Hannover Messe is where industry leaders converge to shape the future,” von Monschaw explained. 

Indian Participation: A Step Towards Global Innovation
Geeta Bisht, CEO of Hannover Milano Fairs India Pvt. Ltd., expressed excitement over the increasing involvement of Indian exhibitors at the trade fair. She highlighted the support extended to first-time exhibitors, from visa processing to stall setup, ensuring a seamless experience. “Indian exhibitors can avail subsidy benefits when participating through EEPC Engineering Export Promotion Council (EEPC),” Bisht added. 

She also noted the growing presence of Indian State Governments, which have been regular participants in Hannover Messe, underlining the importance of international exposure for Indian industries.

Raising Awareness: The Need for Greater Indian Representation
When asked about the relatively low number of Indian exhibitors at the event, CH Nadiger, Regional Director at EEPC, acknowledged the gap but emphasized the need for increased awareness. “Indian engineering capabilities need to be showcased on the global stage,” said Nadiger. He pointed out that EEPC is working to bridge this gap through roadshows and campaigns targeting key engineering and manufacturing hubs in India. 

Nadiger also mentioned the government’s efforts to support MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) involved in exports. “Hannover Messe is considered the Mecca of Technology by EEPC, and we strongly encourage Indian MSMEs to participate in this innovation platform, as it offers invaluable exposure and access to global markets,” he stated. 

A Global Platform for Technology and Innovation
As Hannover Messe 2025 approaches, it’s clear that the trade fair will continue to serve as a critical meeting point for industries, innovators, and policymakers worldwide. With India’s growing involvement and a focus on sustainability and technological transformation, the event promises to be a showcase of global innovation—a platform where the future of industry and technology will be shaped for years to come.
