KIT Presents Innovative Technology Developments at Hannover Messe 2022

May 5, 2022 2:47 pm

Digitalization and Sustainability Considered in One Context: KIT presents developments at the 2 main booths in the ‘Future Hub’ and at ‘Energy Solutions’.

Climate forecasts and risk prevention, data security and artificial intelligence, energy transition and circular economy: These are the topics of the innovations presented by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) at Hannover Messe 2022 from May 30 to June 2. The exhibits and presentations at the two main booths in the “Future Hub” (Hall 2, Booth B40) and at “Energy Solutions” (Hall 13, Booth D62) show how digitality and sustainability are considered in one context by the KIT researchers. The KIT will also present current mobility research projects at the Baden-Württemberg International booth (Hall 12, Booth D15).

“Digital technologies can contribute to sustainable development, among other things through resource-efficient production or networked mobility. Conversely, it is important to make digitalization sustainable,” explains KIT President Professor Holger Hanselka. “Thanks to its interdisciplinary research, KIT is ideally positioned to meet these challenges, especially in the fields of information, energy, mobility, climate, materials, and humans and technology. The great relevance of the work on, for example, renewable energies, their storage, and distribution is currently shown by the effects of the war in Ukraine.”

At the Hannover Messe 2022 from May 30 to June 2, KIT will present some highlights from research and innovation under the main theme of “Industrial Transformation”. KIT President Professor Holger Hanselka will participate as a speaker in the “Lightweighting Summit” of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, which will take place on May 31 under the patronage of Federal Minister of Economics Dr. Robert Habeck. The focus of this conference is on linking lightweight construction with hydrogen technology – both promote resource and energy efficiency and thus support climate protection.

Being “The Research University in the Helmholtz Association”, KIT creates and imparts knowledge for the society and the environment.
