Hannover Messe creates momentum. The decisive question comes afterwards.

Technologies, use cases and visions have become visible. What remains unclear is what really matters in practice.

Which developments are relevant — and which can actually be put into practice?

CRATOS Industry Circle 2026 creates the right setting to address exactly these questions. A concise impulse brings together the key themes of the trade fair into one coherent picture: from research and technology transfer to energy and industrial infrastructures, all the way to automation and digitalization. From this, concrete courses of action for industry and SMEs in Europe are derived.

This is followed by focused, open exchange in a deliberately refined atmosphere in Hanover’s historic old town.
