IG Metall members can attend the Hannover Messe free of charge. The world’s largest industrial trade fair will take place in Hannover from April 20 to 24, 2026. This year’s fair will focus on global competition, cost pressures, and artificial intelligence. For IG Metall members, visiting the trade fair offers the chance to identify trends early on, network, and gain inspiration for their own workplace practices.
How do I get the e-ticket?
If you’re interested in an e-ticket, you’ll need the IG Metall registration link. This link is visible and accessible only to members after logging in.
After entering your registration information, your personalized e-ticket will be sent to you via email (you’ll be asked for your email address during registration). The personalized ticket serves as a pass valid for all days of the event—but it is not valid as a ticket for public transportation in Hanover.
Panel Discussion with Christiane Benner
A special highlight will be IG Metall’s appearance on the main stage in the center of the trade fair on April 22 at 1:00 p.m. Leading representatives from labor unions, politics, business, and academia will discuss the future of the region as an industrial hub. The panel will feature IG Metall Chairwoman Christine Benner, Lower Saxony State Premier Olaf Lies, Arndt Kirchhoff, President of the North Rhine-Westphalia Association of the Metal and Electrical Industry, and Moritz Schularick, President of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW).
This year’s partner country is Brazil, an important trading partner for Germany and a pioneer in renewable energy. A high proportion of sustainable electricity generation, significant industrial potential, and a growing demand for modern production technology are opening up new areas of cooperation—ranging from energy efficiency and automation to climate-friendly industrial production.
