The VDE highlights of Hannover Messe 2024

With 4,000 exhibitors from 60 countries, Hannover Messe 2024 was once again a complete success. Chancellor Olaf Scholz opened the trade fair in a good mood. Under the motto "Energizing a Sustainable Industry", the world's leading trade fair for industry provided clear impetus for the transformation of business and industry - towards digitalized, climate-neutral and sustainable value creation. Although the VDE did not have its own stand this year, it was still present at the trade fair. The focus was on artificial intelligence, climate-friendly production, solutions for the energy transition and hydrogen as an energy source. Of course, the VDE was also there. Not with its own stand, but as a guest on numerous stages and stands. Here is a brief insight into the VDE highlights at Hannover Messe 2024.

INVENT a CHIP

The Hannover Messe was a great opportunity for the winners of the INVENT a CHIP student competition to discuss prospects in the STEM field on a large stage and to inspire the student groups of the YourFuture young talent campaign for STEM. The variety of visions for the future presented at the fair inspired the students to create their own projects. They are excited to see which of these innovations they will be using in their everyday lives in 10 years' time.
