Hannover, Germany, is a city with a rich industrial history. With rich natural resources and a role as the transit crossroads of central Europe, it has been a manufacturing center for more than 150 years.

Many visitors will not know that it also has a rich history of urban green spaces. During its post-World War II reconstruction, city planners included 40 parks and an urban forest that is nearly twice the size of Central Park in New York.

It is the perfect place to host the annual Hannover Messe tradeshow, returning to the city's exhibition grounds April 20-24, 2026. As one of the largest industrial trade shows - more than 6,000 vendors from manufacturing, automation, industrial IT, energy and infrastructure - it truly qualifies as a type of industrial wilderness. Too much to see, learn, experience and explore.

If you can't make it this year - there's always next year. And we'll keep you plugged into the latest show news and events right here.
