"There is no industrial fair that is more important for Germany as a business location. This week, Hannover was THE platform for high-level decision-makers and technology evangelists this week," as CEO Philip Harting emphasized.

"Making the Difference" was the guiding motto and theme of this year’s HANNOVER MESSE and the Technology Group with its products showed that it MAKES the difference.

HARTING provided information about connectivity and cabling solutions for renewable and decentralised energy supply. Moreover, the company also highlighted ecosystems for digitalisation and connectors for efficient and sustainable life cycles.

Philip Harting stated most decidedly: "We are hitting the bull’s eye with these offerings – because we want to shape the future with technologies for people. What we develop and drive forward sustainably today will determine what the world looks like tomorrow." 

The fact that the technology group is on the right track with this approach and mindset was reflected in the public interest but also in various cooperations: On every single day of the fair we experienced vibrant demand and a large numer of interested visitors. Under the umbrella of the Industrial Digital Twin Association (IDTA) and together with Microsoft, Siemens and SAP, the HARTING Technology Group has developed a showcase on the topic of "Digital Twin". The showcase demonstrates how the standardisation of data can be used for industrial applications – and was extremely well received, as the partners recorded the largest number of participants on the Guided Tour at HANNOVER MESSE. To sum things up: The "Digital Twin" was one of the most attractive topics at the world’s largest leading trade fair and holds significant relevance for the future of the entire industry.
