The Hannover Messe will be opening its doors once again at the beginning of April this year to welcome trade visitors from around the world. It is our great pleasure to invite you to the International Siemens Press Conference held in advance of the show: At this press conference CEOs will give you an insight into technological developments and innovations which Siemens will be presenting at Hanover for the manufacturing and process industries at the Hannover Messe. This includes the integration of future technologies such as artificial intelligence, edge computing or additive manufacturing as well as digital solutions for energy supply, and the future of process automation.
Digitalization is changing our world – and the world of industry – in tangible ways. The digital transformation is creating new competitive advantages and business models in many companies in the manufacturing and process industry. Machine builders and plant engineers can also take advantage of this development and make it usable for their customers. For digital enterprises systems and processes can be comprehensively and uniformly optimized throughout the entire lifecycle of products and plants. At the SPS IPC Drives in Nuremberg, Germany, from November 28 to 30, 2017 – which took place this year under the motto "Discover the value of the Digital Enterprise" – Siemens presented in hall 11 specific examples of applications to show how this can be done.
Under the banner "Innovate. Digitalize now. SmartMining." Siemens is presenting the implementation of digital mining at this year's bauma, the world's leading trade fair for construction machinery. From April 8 to 14, the company will be demonstrating at Messe München in Hall C2, Booth 325, how mining companies can ensure and increase the availability and productivity of their mining equipment with the help of a unique range of services, comprehensive support and many years of technology and industry expertise. The digital solutions range from individual aspects to the entire mining operation.
Under the motto "Digitalize your building," Siemens showed at the light+building trade fair from March 18 to 23, 2018 how commercial buildings can be comfortable while also offering economical operation. Encompassing 1,100 square meters, the Siemens booth featured smart products, solutions and systems. For this, Financial Services from Siemens offers the right financial solution.

On the path to the future of energy, decarbonization, decentralization, and digitalization are inextricably linked. The goal, after all, is intelligent, sustainable generation, provision, and use of energy. This requires integrative thinking and an eye for the big picture – from intelligent energy concepts to sector coupling, electromobility, and the integration of renewable energies in the power grid. At The smarter E Europe trade show, Siemens demonstrated how this combination of power generation, storage, distribution, and use functions in practice. The event brought together four exhibitions under one roof covering the core topics for the energy world of the future (Intersolar, Power2Drive, ees, EM-Power). In line with the trade fair motto "Take control: Be energy intelligent!" we presented innovative products and solutions for the grid integration of PV power plants, local energy systems, and for e-mobility ecosystems.
The world's largest trade fair for transport technology – InnoTrans – was being held in Berlin from September 18 to 21. Once again, Siemens has showcased its products in Hall 4.2 and in the outdoor exhibition area.Digitalization is fundamentally transforming the mobility industry. It is improving the availability of vehicles and infrastructures, optimizing operations, and reducing efforts and costs. Reflecting these changes, digital innovations in a networked "Complete Mobility System" was the focus of Siemens' presentation at InnoTrans 2018. Following the motto "Shaping connected mobility," Siemens has showcased new, intelligent solutions that will make rail transport more efficient, safer and more reliable.
At ISH, the leading international trade show for building, energy and air conditioning technology and renewable energy sources took place in March 2017 in Frankfurt, Germany, the Siemens Building Technologies Division exhibited its current portfolio of products, systems and solutions for energy-efficient rooms and buildings as well as heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) technology.The motto of this year's Building Technologies display was "Creating Perfect Places."
