Startup or big player – which is more flexible, more agile, better? Over 400 startups have
come to Hannover to link up with big multinational corporations. We visited them at the
CeBIT show to find out who is learning from whom, and what new initiatives are emerging.
The CeBIT show is receiving some high-ranking visitors. Among them is German Chancellor
Angela Merkel, who has taken a tour of fair’s top digital innovations from around the world. Dr. Merkel made time to talk to the exhibitors and learn about their new technologies.
Big data, cloud and artificial intelligence - the digitalization trend is at the heart of all the exhibits and events at this year's CeBIT in Hannover, Germany. Featuring around 3,300 exhibitors from over 70 countries, CeBIT is the world's biggest trade show for the digitalization of business and society. And this year, it is back with a major lineup of highlights and innovations.
The official opening of CeBIT 2016 was attended by many VIPs. Among them were German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel and EU Digital Economy Commissioner Günther Oettinger. Proof that CeBIT is a key platform for high-level political dialogue.
EMO Hannover 2013 has proven its role as the worlds leading trade fair for the metalworking industry. Over a busy six-day period, a total of 145.000 visitors came to the fair to learn about the latest trends and developments in the machine tools industry at a showcase dedicated to “Intelligence in Production.”
The machine tools industry goes to considerable lengths to minimize the environmental impacts of the products it makes and uses. For instance, it invests heavily in special machine coolant cleaning systems that prolong coolant life and conserve energy.
Human labor is increasingly becoming superfluous in manufacturing operations as robots and fully automated processes take over. The latest technology-based production solutions reduce unit costs and are often the key to manufacturers’ future survival.
India is already the world’s sixth-largest market for machine tools, which is why it is under the spotlight at this year’s EMO Hannover fair. Metal certainly seems to be among the hard factors underlying the positive outlook for the Asian subcontinent.
Intelligence is the key to success – and that’s certainly true in the metalworking industry. Which is why EMO Hannover 2013 is dedicated to Intelligence in Production. It is a showcase for smart innovations and a sharing hub for ideas that are proven performers.
Things are humming along nicely here at EMO Hannover. The leading trade fair for the metalworking industry is home to the latest turning and grinding machines. But it’s not all metal on metal; there’s also a strong focus on sustainability, thanks to the German Engineering Federation’s “Blue Competence” initiative.
Continuous improvement is the way of all industry – and the metalworking industry is no exception. Production processes are getting smarter all the time, machines faster, and tools more accurate. EMO Hannover is all about metal, and over the next few days, all manner of solutions for machining and working it will be on show right here at the Hannover Exhibition Center, Germany.
In September the world of metalworking will get together in Hannover. At the
leading world fair EMO over 2,000 companies will present environment-friendly
innovations and the latest developments – with everything focused on
improved efficiency.
