Our top picks for Hannover Messe 2021: AI & IIoT across different industries

Our top picks for Hannover Messe 2021: AI & IIoT across different industries

A few years ago, we used to navigate for one week during the Hannover Messe long hallways, trying to catch as much as possible, meet new companies, startups and find out about the latest innovation in the technology space. This year, Hannover Messe, for the first time, is online only. The bad part is that we’re not in Germany, feeling the energy and the excitement of the participating companies. Still, on the other hand, we can plan better and watch five full days of presentations, tours, panel discussions, talks, etc.

As our focus is on IIoT across different verticals, here are our picks for the first three days of the show. More to come in the upcoming days. We selected only the sessions of interest for us held in English or those with live translation in English. You can add those to your schedule, and don’t forget to follow our Twitter channels (IIoT World, CRudinschi & Fogoros) and LinkedIn profiles (IIoT World, Carolina Rudinschi & Lucian Fogoros) for real-time updates from the show. We will cover the event.

We will also host, during the week, in partnership with Industry 4.0 Club, a daily Clubhouse discussion scheduled at 2 PM EDT / 8 PM CEST.
