The Hannover Messe cannot take place this year after all. The reason is the increasingly critical situation due to the Covid-19 pandemic and a prohibition order of the Hannover region. Accordingly, the industrial fair may not be organized in the planned period. It is the first time in the 73-year history of the fair that the event is not being held. As a replacement, a digital offer is to replace the exhibition stands on site.

The next Hannover Messe is then to take place in 2021 from 12 to 16 April 2021.
