Energy efficiency is not a new trend in the electronics industry. However, demands are growing, driven by rising electricity prices, regulatory pressure as well as the increasing need for energy-efficient components for systems, power electronics, and IoT devices. From November 10 to 13, 2026, the international electronics industry will gather at electronica to discuss the latest trends in energy efficiency.
HANNOVER MESSE and the "Made for Germany" initiative send a strong signal for industrial AI in Germany and Europe
An independent jury comprising top-class experts from political and business communities, research, and the media, chaired by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Holger Hanselka, President of the Fraunhofer Society, has nominated three companies selected from the numerous submissions for the HERMES AWARD. The winner will be announced at the official opening ceremony of HANNOVER MESSE on April 19, 2026. The Federal Minister of Research, Technology and Space, Dorothee Bär, will present the award.
The 2026 edition of HANNOVER MESSE will take place from April 20 to 24. In collaboration with Deutsche Messe AG IEN Europe presents you free access to the Fair from Monday to Friday.
With HANNOVER MESSE 2026, fron April 20 to 24, artificial intelligence (AI) in industry becomes tangible. In a practical and application-oriented way, the trade fair demonstrates how manufacturing companies can profitably use AI. With a consistent AI focus, the fair shows how today’s challenges can be transformed into concrete competitive advantages – while offering companies and visitors even greater orientation and value.
The Industrial Security Circus in Hall 26 will be the central platform for cyber security at HANNOVER MESSE 2026. It brings together leading experts, innovative solution providers, and users to bring current threats, practical protection concepts, and the future of industrial cyber security to life.
HANNOVER MESSE 2026 (April 20 to 24) starts with a new, clearly structured thematic and site concept. The main exhibition areas are Automation & Digitalization, Energy & Industrial Infrastructure, and Research & Technology Transfer. The topic of artificial intelligence is a common thread running through all exhibition areas.
The latest trends in robotics can be experienced at HANNOVER MESSE 2026 from April 20 to 24.
From Pasture to Pot: Preserving Nature’s Goodness
OPC UA is widely used as a data exchange standard that bridges the gap between OT and IT. A key part of this standard consists of extensible information models and companion specifications. However, many solutions based on OPC UA fail to exploit the potential of these information models and companion specifications. This editorial explains the benefits offered by OPC UA information models and how information models interact with the other components in an IoT solution.

Decarbonising industrial activities is key to mitigating climate change – but what happens to the carbon dioxide (CO2) we capture? Permanent sequestration can be difficult and expensive: so what if the captured CO2 could be reused to create a value stream? Whether you choose carbon capture and storage (CCS) or utilisation (CCUS), filtration technology plays a central role in achieving a high-quality end product.

Laser triangulation sensors measure variables such as displacement, distance and position on a non-contact, wear-free basis. The most important sensor features are high performance, a compact design and the ability to stabilize the signal with changing surfaces. Micro-Epsilon has now equipped its sensors with the advanced IO-Link interface to network multiple sensors in the factory.
Since life began some 1 billion years ago, an intricate web of cycles and relationships has developed. Sunlight is the only input, and nothing is wasted. For the electrical industry, adopting a more circular approach to manufacturing can advance sustainability and offer unique economic opportunities, say Fernando Nuño and Bruno De Wachter, members of the advisory board for electrical manufacturing trade show, CWIEME Berlin.
