As the world's premier trade fair, the EMO Hannover scores highly in terms of sheer size, internationality and the number of innovations unveiled there.

By the registration deadline at the beginning of December 2016, more than 1,700 firms from 40 different countries had signed up, with more than 150,000 square metres of net exhibition area. There are over 400 exhibitors from Asia alone.

Which means the current registration status "is significantly above the comparable figure for the previous event," explains Christoph Miller. There are plenty of indications that the EMO Hannover 2017 is heading for a record participation level.

The EMO Hannover is the absolute hot-spot for international experts in the metalworking sector. This is reflected in the visitor figures: in 2013, around 143,000 trade visitors from more than 110 different countries attended the EMO in Hanover.

The proportion of visitors from abroad was 42 per cent. No other event for production technology anywhere in the world can record such a high proportion of foreign visitors.
