The EMO in a nutshell – The EMO Hannover 2019 Preview provides a foretaste of the world's leading trade fair for the metalworking industry

More than 80 journalists from over 30 countries and from all media genres will be guests at the EMO Hannover 2019 Preview on July 3/4. There they will meet 38 exhibitors from nine countries, mainly from the machine tool, tool and component building industry. "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).

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.
