Hanover Messe is one of the largest industrial fairs in the world, which was held every year in Hanover, Germany. It is the equivalent of the industrial sector of the CES show.
The 2025 edition of Hanover Messe, on the theme “Forming The Future With Technology”, took place from March 31 to April 4, 2025. Hanover Mass is known to be overwhelming and this year was not different. About 4,000 companies were represented in the stands of the exhibition, and the number one subject at the Fair was artificial intelligence (AI).
We have chosen the most interesting highlights of the flood of innovations to Hanover Mass.
Robotics, logistics and automation

At Park, Hanover Mass, different companies have innovations in robotics, logistics and automation, which are presented as practical applications.
Inbolt Presented a robotic guidance system powered by AI using a 3D camera mounted directly on the robot and algorithms supported by the AI. ConductOne of the main manufacturers of data transmission and energy systems for automated guided vehicles presented the enduro load contacts and the inductive loader WirelessCharger 3.0 for effective operation of the fleet. Also, Blickle’s Ergomove 4000 Highly modular electrical drive systems are able to support loads of up to 4,000 kg to 2 km / h, which reduces the required physical effort of human workers.
Maple Advanced Robotics Inc. won the Robotics Award 2025 for their robotic programming platform without AI and without code. Take advantage of robotics And Manis Robotics were finalists. The winner was selected according to the “level of technical innovation, marketing and economic viability”.

THE “Battery use case” exhibition Was a special culminating point for Park Application: A collaborative Project featuring 10 exhibitors to present the future of EV battery production with humanoid robots and an AI at the crucial stages of the value chain, from manufacturing to recycling.
Delta Electronics demonstrated how he uses Nvidia Omverse To create digital twins for tests and validation before deployment.
Durable systems with hydrogen and fuel cells
Sustainability was another key theme to Hanover Mass, several exhibitors presenting “the versatility and added value of hydrogen and fuel cells in industrial production”.

The SIQENS fuel and hydrogen battery infrastructure developer presented its patented EHS system (electrochemical separation of hydrogen)An effective and profitable solution to extract hydrogen from high purity from the supply gases. The CEO of Siqens, Thomas Klaue, believes that the EHS is vital for the supply of decentralized hydrogen. He says: “EHS technology can play a central role in the sector coupling, in which electricity, heat and transport are linked. In this way, we contribute to a more sustainable energy supply and reduced to CO2 and create the conditions for flexible and decentralized hydrogen use. ”
THE German cooperation of fuel cells (GFC) Used the respective expertise of its component companies to develop a fully coordinated production line for the manufacture of metal bipolar plates (key components in fuel cells). According to GFC, this pioneering production chain has an annual production capacity of several million bipolar plates, sufficient to cover the current demand for industry.

There have been many other innovations in hydrogen storage, separation and harness:
- BalticFuelCells Presented its battery of hydrogen fuel cells cooled by liquid for light electric vehicles, including pecelecs and cargo bikes.
- Atlas Copco has created its hydraulic hydrogen compressor for mobility applications, with a flexible design that makes it suitable for different applications, from the filling of the trailer to supply stations.
- Bosch’s centerpiece was the company PEM Hybone electrolysis battery – an evolutionary compact solution for the production of green hydrogen. The company also won the H2ECO Award 2025 for BMG Pure Water, a seawater treatment plant without chemicals.
Artificial intelligence in industry

Several companies work to implement solutions fueled by artificial intelligence in the workshop. The exhibitions to Hanover Mass indicate that AI will play a key role in the following areas:
- Material search:: Cusp ai Develops a “search engine for materials”. The platform uses generative AI models to simulate new molecules and use models based on physics to predict the properties of these molecules.
- Supply chain management:: Elisa IndsutriqThe supply chain optimization software, SEDAPTA, uses AI -based algorithms to predict customer demand, assess suppliers and manage stocks to prevent overestimation while maintaining availability.
- Predictive maintenance and inspection: Siemens and Roboverse Reply have collaborated to create a solution for the inspection controlled by AI in industrial environments. The platform is available in Siemen’s Comos mobile worker application and orchestra automated maintenance and inspection tasks in the center and in real time.
- Real -time support and guidance:: To increase brings an AI genetive to the workshop. It is an “generative AI assistant for front line operations” which provides targeted support for skilled workers. According to increase, Augie reduces the efforts required to integrate new employees up to 72%.
- Pharmaceutical production: Siemens showed a series of technologies fueled by AI to support and optimize the pharmaceutical production process, from engineering to predictive maintenance. The company won the Hermes Award 2025 for its suite of industrial co -pilots, including the industrial co -pilot for the TIA portal.
- Energy management: The Hermes Startup Award 2025 was awarded to ecoplanet For its energy management platform fueled by AI, cockpit, “designed to help companies analyze their energy consumption in real time”.
- Automated Kiting: Robotics software company Intrinsic Two intelligent manufacturing demonstration solutions built on its platform: an automated kitting solution taking advantage of the 3D Roboception 3D camera models and a quality inspection service.
If the exhibitions of Hanover Mass 2025 are an indication, the future is focused on AI. However, it is still difficult to know what role a generative AI (by far, the most important form of artificial intelligence currently) will play in this transformer change.

IA expert and former director of intelligent automation at NnasenseDr. Jan Koutnik, places his bets on learning to strengthen instead. In an interview with Robert Weber on the IA industrial podcast, Jan Koutnik, “many managers today think that generator is AI. But the generator will not solve all the problems of the industry. You might say that the generator does not get dirty. We want to do the AI of blue passes. ”
The next edition of Hanover Messe is scheduled for April 20 to 24, 2026.
