The HANNOVER MESSE Digital Days begin on July 14 with keynote addresses on business, science, and policy, as well as panel discussions, live chats, networking opportunities, and innovation presentations. The focus is on how industrial transformation can succeed and what steps industry must take to recover quickly from the consequences of the lockdown.
"With Digital Days, we are creating an online platform for the entire HANNOVER MESSE community. We had to cancel the program this year due to the pandemic, but people still need to learn about the latest products and technological solutions and talk to experts from around the world. Because tomorrow's innovations are only possible when different industries and cultures exchange ideas," says Dr. Jochen Köckler, Chairman of the Board of Management of Deutsche Messe AG.
The HANNOVER MESSE Digital Days revolve around the program's content. For example, the conference program focuses on topics such as Industry 4.0, artificial intelligence, smart energy, and Logistics 4.0. Exhibitor products and solutions form the second layer of content. Networking also plays a key role: all participants can search for suitable business and cooperation partners and connect directly via the chat function.
One of the highlights is the HERMES PRIZE ceremony. For the first time, this internationally coveted technology award will be presented digitally. A jury chaired by Dr. Reimund Neugebauer, President of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, selected the winner from numerous submissions. The winner will be announced on July 14.
