There was also an inspiring keynote by Hugh Adsett, Ambassador of Canada to the Netherlands, to give more substance to the collaboration with partner country Canada. The preview was opened by Hubertus von Monschaw, Global Director Trade Fair Hannover Messe, Deutsche Messe AG. Registration for the NL Pavillion is possible until 14 February 2025.
Peter Stolk, chairman of Holland High Tech:
The Netherlands is a good example of an innovation ecosystem where start-ups, scale-ups, SMEs, large companies, knowledge institutions and government work together. Together we create the (key) technologies and digital systems that industry and society depend on. Whether it concerns integrated chips and the machines that produce them, electrolysers that enable hydrogen production for industry, fuel cells and batteries that are used in sustainable mobility, lightweight composites, digital systems on which all this technology runs or quantum technology that will keep us safe. Our ecosystem ensures a sustainable, innovative industry worldwide, now and in the future. We present this innovation ecosystem during the Hannover Messe. During the Hannover Messe we present this innovative ecosystem to Germany, partner country Canada and the rest of the world.
Hugh Adsett, Ambassador of Canada to the Netherlands:
Hannover Messe is a perfect platform to present Canadian innovations and to enter into new collaborations with the EU. Canadian exhibitors will showcase technologies in the areas of artificial intelligence, photonics, automation, clean technology, hydrogen and robotics.
Hubertus von Monschaw, Global Director Trade Fair Hannover Messe:
From the digitalization of complex production processes, the use of hydrogen to operate entire production facilities, to the application of AI to optimize production processes, Hannover Messe presents an integrated picture of the technological possibilities for the industry of today and tomorrow. The focus is on the interaction of robotics, artificial intelligence, drive technologies, renewable energies and hydrogen.
