From April 20 to 24, 2026, the Netherlands will once again be present at Hannover Messe 2026 (HM2026), the world's leading high-tech trade fair. This year, Hannover Messe has a new format. As Dutch high-tech companies, we will participate in a combined Dutch Pavilion, where we, together with partners, will showcase how the high-tech ecosystem contributes to a smart, sustainable, and safe global industry. Holland High Tech, together with the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), PSPS Business Abroad, the Ministries of Economic Affairs and Foreign Affairs, and the Top Sectors Chemistry and ICT, is organizing the Dutch participation in Hannover Messe 2026.
New format for Hannover Messe 2026
Hannover Messe is the place where innovation and business meet. For five days, more than 4,000 exhibitors in 13 halls will present the latest innovations in high-tech, ICT, and chemistry to over 127,000 visitors from more than 150 countries. In 2026, Hannover Messe will be structured around four central themes:
- Automation
- Digitalization
- Energy transition
- Safety
Dutch Pavilion: Dutch innovation in Hall 13
This year, the Dutch Pavilion will once again serve as a central meeting place for businesses, knowledge institutions, government agencies, and top sectors. Participants can present themselves within three main themes:
- Smart Industry, High-Tech & Digital Solutions
- Dual-Use & Security Technologies
- Sustainable & Smart Chemistry
At the Dutch Pavilion, we bring together the entire ecosystem: from startups and scale-ups to established SMEs and large industrial players. The pavilion encourages collaboration, cross-sector innovation, and the international positioning of Dutch industry. At the trade fair, the Dutch Pavilion will serve as a springboard for Dutch innovations to Germany, partner country Brazil, and other global markets.
