Hannover Messe, which is one of the world's largest trade fairs, dedicated to the topic of industry development organised by Deutsche Messe and held at the Hanover Fairground in Hanover, Germany has been postponed.

The trade fair was originally scheduled to begin April 25 to 29, 2022 has now been rescheduled for May 30 to June 2, 2022.

A statement released by the organising body said, ‘Together with our exhibitors, we were already looking forward to a great restart of #HM22 in April. The longing to finally meet again in person is great. Unfortunately, however, the pandemic keeps the world in suspense continuously.’

The decision was made in close cooperation with the exhibitor advisory board and partner associations VDMA (Association of German Mechanical and Plant Engineering) and ZVEI (Central Association of German Electrical Engineering and Digital Industry).

Furthermore, taking into account the current concentration of events in the summer months, as well as vacation and travel times, Hannover Messe will be carried out once as a four-day event.
