The annual Hannover Messe, a world-class industrial trade fair, is making its return in 2024, and we had the opportunity to engage in conversations with the organizers and representatives who play crucial roles in this enduring exhibition.
For context, Hannover Messe originated in 1947 as an economic initiative for post-war Germany, proving highly successful in fostering industrial collaboration by introducing advanced equipment, primarily mechanical at that time, into the country.
Over the years, propelled by semiconductor-based technology and the forces of globalization, the fair has evolved into a global sensation, attracting professionals and key players from various sectors who seek opportunities and potential partnerships.
A highlight of the event is the prestigious ‘Hermes Award,’ bestowed upon the most innovative use of technology premiered at the fair and ready for the market. It stands as a globally recognized accolade in the R&D industry.
During our roundtable discussion, we delved into this year’s main theme—sustainable industry and development—addressing environmental protection and the global challenge of climate change. This theme resonates from top industry leaders to small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
The emergence of transformative technologies like generative AI and associated concerns, including privacy, legality, and technical management, will be prominently featured in various forums at the trade fair.
Insights about Norway, the proud Partner Country of Hannover Messe 2024, were also gathered. The process of becoming a Partner Country is akin to hosting a global event like the Olympics, involving considerations of industry scale, geological advantages, political support, and stances on various topics and themes.
Positioning itself as a country powered by nature, Norway has seen the rise of technological breakthroughs fueled by abundant resources. Notably, the oversupply of electrical energy from hydroelectric plans has led to investments in hydrogen gas production through the separation of H2O molecules.
Regarding their presence in Malaysia, one of their objectives is to extend a warm invitation to industry participants to attend the fair, as the local market holds great potential but lacks exposure to cutting-edge technologies prevalent elsewhere.
Local figures and representatives have collaborated to discuss details of the fair and share thoughts on Malaysia’s current state, along with speculation about the possibility of being selected as a Partner Country in the future, given that Indonesia stands as the sole Southeast Asian country selected, let alone multiple times.
