HANNOVER MESSE 2027

HANNOVER MESSE 2027 runs 5–8 April 2027 at the Messegelände in Hannover, Germany, with Spain as partner country. It is the world's largest industrial technology trade fair, organised by Deutsche Messe across three display areas — Automation & Digitalization, Energy & Industrial Infrastructure, and Research & Technology Transfer — with artificial intelligence described by the organiser as a common thread running through all of them. The 2026 edition drew roughly 110,000 visitors and around 3,000 exhibitors, with the floor dominated by AI and physical AI, humanoid robots, industrial and OT cybersecurity, defence technology and energy systems. For an enterprise buyer this is where industrial AI appears bolted to a working machine rather than in a keynote deck.

If your AI roadmap has to touch a factory, a grid or a warehouse, this is the one fair where the vendors, integrators, controls suppliers and certification bodies who will actually implement it are all present. A CIO can compare industrial-AI platforms against the PLC and OT-security realities they must run on, meet the Spanish supplier base through the partner-country programme, and walk a humanoid-robotics floor to calibrate how far physical AI genuinely is from a purchase order rather than a pilot.

• ✓Automation & Digitalization display area — robotics, controls, industrial software
• ✓Energy & Industrial Infrastructure display area
• ✓Research & Technology Transfer display area for pre-commercial and institute work
• ✓Spain as 2027 Partner Country, with a national delegation and pavilion programme
• ✓Artificial intelligence run as a common thread across every exhibition area rather than a single hall
• ✓Humanoid robotics, industrial cybersecurity and defence technology showcases (2026 edition themes)

• ★Scale that no AI-specific conference approaches: ~110,000 visitors and ~3,000 exhibitors in 2026, drawn from the operating side of industry rather than the software side
• ★AI is positioned as a cross-cutting theme across all three display areas rather than a separate hall — which means you evaluate it in the context of the machine, the energy budget and the OT network it has to live on
• ★The partner-country programme (Spain in 2027) brings a full national delegation, pavilion and supplier roster, which is the fastest way to scout a new sourcing base in one visit
• ★Research & Technology Transfer puts university and Fraunhofer-type institutes directly alongside commercial exhibitors, so you can see the pre-commercial work two to three years ahead of a product launch
