EMO Hannover 2025 - IndustryArena is on Board as a Media Partner

In September, EMO Hannover will celebrate its 50th anniversary – and IndustryArena will be part of it as the main media partner. Preparations are already in full swing, and we are excited to digitally support the many renowned exhibitors. Over 1,300 company profiles have already been created and connected to the trade fair.
Starting in mid-March, exhibitors can complete their prepared company profile on IndustryArena.com with exhibits, news, job offers, and more, as well as automatically export it to the official exhibitor directory of EMO 2025. For the first time, the entirely newly developed and intuitive EMO-style backend will be used.
