In the first week of April, our team visited the HANNOVER MESSE trade fair together with 10 KIT startups. There was no sign of April weather – but we spent the 20 degrees and sunshine mainly in the many halls of the exhibition centre.
That was the HMI 2025
4,000 exhibitors, 300 startups and over 120,000 visitors. HANNOVER MESSE always delivers impressive numbers. This year, topics such as artificial intelligence (AI), automation, digitalisation and electrification provided optimism in the industry. Positive impulses also came from the partner country Canada, emphasising the importance of transatlantic cooperation in these times.
Strong startup presence
The top topic of the fair, artificial intelligence, is also partially reflected in our startups. During the five days of the fair, two teams exhibited at the booth of the KIT Founders Forge. Thanks for your commitment!
- adjusted flow GmbH
- FastCast GmbH
- PrioOptics GmbH
- Validaitor GmbH
- Desoltik
- KCM – Karlsruhe Conductive Materials
- Spotium GmbH
- NextStepHR
- Avo Labs Inc.
- Catavis
RAZO Energy also presented itself at the KIT stand in the Energy Solutions hall – with a video game specially programmed for the trade fair that demonstrated how its energy management app works.
New contacts and new ideas
HANNOVER MESSE was once again a great success for us and our team. We are already looking forward to HMI 2026!
‘We are back from HANNOVER MESSE – with full notebooks, empty voices and plenty of drive. Let’s build the future! Thank you KIT-Gründerschmiede for offering us this great stage to present ourselves.’ (Nico Raab, Spotium)
