Visit us at Hannover Messe 2023 – we look forward to seeing you
We would like you to join us in celebrating a very special anniversary. For 100 years now, Phoenix Contact has been developing innovative solutions and technologically leading products together with customers and partners.
“Making the Difference” is the motto of Hannover Messe 2023. We share this motto. Today, we want to do the things that will make a difference tomorrow. With the All Electric Society, we have found the mission statement that will lead us to a sustainable future and a livable world for everyone. This idea describes a world in which energy from renewable resources is affordable and available in sufficient quantities everywhere, at all times, and for everyone. To develop these innovations and find the solutions that make the difference, the All Electric Society is our blueprint.
Digitalization is giving us increasingly powerful tools for doing this: Manufacturing X is a game changer that will make precisely this difference in the future. After all, with the help of the digital twins of production processes and resources, new digital value chains and business models will emerge in the future. This generates new business and sustainability potential that only needs to be realized.

What is the Hannover Messe?
The Hannover Messe is the leading trade fair for international industry. It is based on several leading trade fairs on the key topics of modern industry:
- Integrated Automation, Motion & Drives: International leading trade fair for integrated automation, industrial IT, drive and fluid technology
- Digital Factory: International leading trade fair for integrated processes and IT solutions
- Energy: International leading trade fair for integrated energy systems and mobility
- Industrial Supply: International leading trade fair for supplier solutions and light construction
- Research and Technology: International leading trade fair for research, development and the transfer of technology
The leading trade fairs are oriented toward various technologies and areas of application. In 2018, the leading trade fairs Industrial Automation and MDA were merged to create a new, annual event – Integrated Automation, Motion & Drives (IAMD). The IAMD covers the entire spectrum of industrial automation, IT, drive and fluid technology. This provides companies with a platform to showcase solutions for intelligent production processes. This turns the smart factory into a reality. Phoenix Contact is represented at the new leading trade fair in Hall 9.

Obama visit: Into the future with the Chancellor and the President
The USA was the partner country of the Hannover Messe in 2016. The US President at the time, Barack Obama, took this opportunity to visit Hanover. During the traditional tour of the trade fair with Chancellor Angela Merkel, he was shown outstanding technical innovations.
On this occasion, Frank Stührenberg and Jack Nehlig demonstrated the new e-mobility fast charging connector to them at the Phoenix Contact booth. A special highlight: The DeLorean DMC-12 sports car from the film series “Back to the Future” was rebuilt to illustrate the topic of fast charging technology. President Obama was not only enthusiastic about the innovative charging technology. He also impressed the Chancellor and the Phoenix Contact CEO, Frank Stührenberg, with his film knowledge.
The history of the Hannover Messe
Origin
The self-proclaimed motto of the largest industrial trade fair in the world is “Tradition and Innovation”. It was established in 1947 as the “Hannover Export Fair 1947” under the banner of the German company Deutsche Messe- und Ausstellungs-AG, Hannover-Laatzen. After the Second World War, the new industrial trade fair was to provide a counterpoint to the Leipziger Messe in the former GDR and to emphasize the innovative power of West Germany.
Growing internationalization
As a venue for international contacts, the Hannover Messe quickly attracted attention from international guests. As early as 1950, there were exhibitors from ten different countries, one of these being the USA. Over the years, the trade fair has become increasingly international. The first partner country was Brazil in 1980. Since then, companies of a different country have presented their products each year.
The Hannover Messe today
Today, the leading trade fair is the barometer for technological developments. The exhibition is currently dominated by topics such as the Internet of Things, industrial digitalization, robotics and renewable energies. Numerous innovations for Industry 4.0 – the digital industrial revolution – will continue to be introduced over the next few years.
