From March 31 to April 4, 2025, Hannover Messe will once again open its doors. More than 3,500 exhibitors will be in attendance. TU9 Universities will present innovative products and research results, for instance in the fields of Drive Technology and Fluid Power, Robotics, and Automation.

The combination of internationally competitive cutting-edge research with innovative applications is reflected in a wide range of collaborations with industry and thus creates ideal conditions for the successful transfer of entrepreneurial ideas into startups and companies. 

TU9 Universities not only act as regional economic powerhouses and national drivers of innovation, but also develop holistic solutions for the global challenges of our time.

General information about the fair can be found on the Hannover Messe website.

Selected projects of the TU9 Universities are presented on our LinkedIn channel.
