Through pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings, the Technology & Business Cooperation Days bring together companies and research institutions. 

Via a matchmaking platform, participants can specifically search for partners that match their requirements. This enables them to establish global contacts in a short time. The networking event organized by Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) Lower Saxony offers two participation options: in-person meetings at the exhibition grounds from April 20-23, 2026 during Hannover Messe and/or follow-up meetings from May 5-6. 

This year's focus areas include: 

• Automation, Smart Manufacturing & Digitalization 
• Artificial Intelligence & Data-Driven Industry 
• Energy Systems & Sustainable Production 
• Advanced Engineering & Mechanical/Electrical Technologies 
• Defence & Security Production Technologies 
• Research, Innovation & Startups 

Participation is free of charge. Interested companies and research institutions can register at https://www.b2match.com/e/technology-business-cooperation-days-2026.
