“We are most encouraged by the high level of interest already being shown in the run-up to EMO and are expecting to see a varied programme in which exhibitors will be giving a concise overview of their trade fair innovations and providing a first glimpse of the new developments that visitors can expect to see at EMO Hannover from 16 to 21 September,” says Dr. Wilfried Schäfer, Executive Director of EMO organiser VDW (Verein Deutscher Werkzeugmaschinenfabrikenn – German Machine Tool Builders’ Association). For the first time, interested parties will be able to follow the Preview via a live stream.

The Preview has adopted the EMO Hannover theme of Smart technologies driving tomorrow’s production! and will emphasise the importance of the EMO as the world’s leading trade fair for metalworking. EMO is also an information platform for showcasing the future of production technology. Accordingly, in his keynote speech at the Preview, Dr. Anselm Blocher of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) will be reporting on “Industry 4.0: Hurdles and opportunities in actual production”. The companies will then illustrate these views about the future of the industry in 120-second reports on their current offerings in the field of digitalisation and production networking.
