The Hannover Messe (HM; “Hannover Fair”) is one of the world’s largest trade fairs, dedicated to the topic of industry development. It is also the most important international platform and hot spot for industrial transformation – with excellent innovations or unusual products. It is organized by Deutsche Messe AG and held on the Hannover Fairground in Hannover, Germany. The fair attracts typically 100.000-200.000 visitors per year.

This year, between 24-26 April, IMNR representatives attented the fair in the frame of FAST-SMART project together with other partners from the international project consortium. During this event, our colleagues supervised the FAST SMART project stand and interacted with all visitors interested in the specifics of the project and the results achieved so far. They also visited other companies stands to collect information and ideas for possible future collaborations or purchases of equipment/raw materials. Moreover, ms. eng. Caramarin Stefania gave a presentation related to the hydrothermal synthesis of BCZT type piezoelectric materials entitled Hydrothermal Synthesis of Barium Calcium Zirconium Titanate Lead Free Piezoceramic Powders in the Tech Transfer Conference Stage of the fair.
