One of my favourite parts of the year is about to begin! 🙌 For me, April means that the HANNOVER MESSE is coming up and I'm more than just excited! It is an industrial trade fair like no other that is so important for Germany as a business location. I am proud to say that the HARTING Technology Group is an established part of the trade fair and has attended every year since 1947. HARTING is shaping the future with technologies for people. The industrial future is digital, electric and sustainable. That's why visitors from all over the world can see our products and innovations for themselves this year, which follow our mission statement "Connecting the All-Electric Society". What is the idea behind the #AllElectricSociety? 💡 The All-Electric Society with the sectors Industry, Mobility, Energy, Infrastructure and Agriculture focuses on renewable electrical energy sources to replace fossil fuels and achieve the much-needed reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. We at HARTING are making our contribution to the All-Electric Society by using our connectivity to promote the coupling of the four sectors and thus also the industrial future! However, the importance of this topic is not only evident at our stand; for the first time, there is even an entire All-Electric Society arena at the Hannover Messe. The AES Arena represents the energy efficiency scenario of a sustainable energy supply and production and thus offers an ideal discussion area in line with the guiding theme of HANNOVER MESSE: "Energising a Sustainable Industry". I am very pleased that HARTING is part of this unique initiative organized by ZVEI e. V.. I am looking forward to the interesting discussions that will take place and to the faces I will get to know at the trade fair. Will you be attending?   #HM24 #hanovertradefair #pushingperfomance #industrialtransformation

“It was a logical step,” says Uwe Fischer, CEO of Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH. As a further important contribution to greater sustainability, visitors can use public transport within the Hamburger Verkehrsverbund (hvv)) free of charge for travelling to and from our world-leading trade fairs SMM and WindEnergy Hamburg with their online trade fair ticket. For you it means 👉 less stress when travelling and looking for a parking space on site 👉 less CO2 in your personal CO2 footprint 👉 lower costs for you or your employer. If that's not three good reasons to take advantage of the opportunity? What do you think? #windenergy #tradefair #theidealconnection #energytransition #windenergyhamburg

Who's the driving force behind STEP? 🌱 STEP is a pioneering initiative, aspiring to unite trade fair organizers, fairground operators and owners, exhibitors, associations, and media in a collective effort to actively advance climate-neutral and #sustainable #tradefair and #conferences. But you might be curious about the people behind this ambitious venture. This week, our spotlight is on Markus A.W. Hoehner. Allow us to introduce Markus A.W. Hoehner, a visionary and one of the founding members of the initiative. STEP isn't Markus's first foray into the realm of sustainability; he also stands as the founder of EUPD Research Energy, a premier market research entity specializing in primary data-based research and consulting services. With a remarkable track record spanning over more than two decades, EUPD Research has consistently developed innovative and holistic solutions for challenges faced by sustainability-oriented companies. For Markus, #social, #ecological, and #economic #sustainability has always been a driving force. Yet, as time passed, it became increasingly evident that even trade fairs for sustainable sectors were overlooking their own sustainability practices. This realization prompted Markus, alongside his Co-Founder Benjamin Low, to establish STEP. The objective is straightforward: recognizing sustainability as a shared obligation, STEP aims to foster a community of individuals who share a common vision and collaborate to propel the trade fair industry towards greater environmental consciousness. Markus comments: “The overarching goal of the stakeholder network to advance sustainability - especially in an industry as large as the trade fair and event industry - is as overdue as it is challenging and forms the core of STEP's work.” Let's work together to create real change!

Trade fairs are highly relevant, extending their impact far beyond their specific industries. ✨ Personally, I am fascinated by these dynamic international marketplaces, where innovations are unveiled to set the stage for global progress. 🚀 Wolfram Diener, President & CEO of Messe Düsseldorf GmbH, shares his insights on this topic in his latest editorial. 📘 #TradeFairs #Innovation #MesseDüsseldorf
