Hannover Messe 2015 — Integrated Industry: Join the Network

Hannover Messe 2015 has just wrapped up in Hannover, Germany. Under the theme “Integrated Industry – Join the Network”, this edition solidified the arrival of Industry 4.0 as more than a concept — it’s now shaping how manufacturing, automation, and power transmission work together in practice.

What Made Hannover Messe 2015 Stand Out

• More than 220,000 visitors, including roughly 70,000 from outside Germany, came to see the latest in industrial automation, smart energy systems, and connected production.

• Around 6,500 exhibitors from 70+ countries showcased breakthroughs in industrial automation, energy efficiency, R&D, and digital factory innovations.

• India joined as the Partner Country, bringing a strong national presence and spotlighting its growing industrial tech capabilities and global collaborations.

Why This Matters

This year’s show sent a clear message: networks matter. Whether between machines, data systems, or companies — connections are no longer optional; they’re essential. From smart sensors to energy management and from collaborative robotics to digital manufacturing, many technologies that were once on the horizon are now ready for deployment.
