Hannover Messe 2026 is one of the world\u2019s leading industrial trade fairs, bringing together global innovators to explore the future of automation, digitalization, AI, and sustainable manufacturing.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The event provides a pivotal platform for industry leaders to address disruption, rapidly shifting customer expectations, and the growing need for resilient, sustainable operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make it real.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Capgemini will participate as an exhibitor in hall 15, booth F52, showcasing how we make AI-powered solutions real<\/strong><\/strong>. By merging the physical and digital worlds\u2014and leveraging data, software, engineering, and AI\u2014we help organizations reimagine products, operations, and supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI as a catalyst<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

AI powers predictive operations, intelligent supply chains, and sustainable product design. We de-risk AI at scale with ethical guardrails, while agentic systems and digital twins accelerate R&D and decarbonization\u2014turning environmental goals into measurable outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balancing innovation and digital sovereignty<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As AI adoption accelerates across industry, digital sovereignty has become a strategic consideration\u2014without implying full technological autonomy. Capgemini advocates a pragmatic, use\u2011case\u2011driven approach<\/strong>, balancing sovereignty requirements with the need to innovate and remain competitive. Alongside our main presence at Hannover Messe 2026, visit us at our partner stand with SchwarzDigits<\/strong> in Hall 14, Stand J18<\/strong>. Capgemini and STACKIT (the digital brand of Schwarz Group) have formed a strategic partnership to deliver secure, sovereign cloud solutions. Join us to explore how sovereign\u2011by\u2011design digital foundations can support secure, resilient industrial AI and critical operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real business value <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Intelligent Industry drives personalization, operational excellence, and new revenue streams. Sustainability becomes a profit driver through smart design and climate tech. Our solutions deliver tangible ROI\u2014financial, environmental, and societal.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n

Demos and content<\/h2><\/div><\/div>

This year\u2019s program at Hannover Messe will feature a dynamic demo area, where visitors can explore our latest innovations firsthand.\u00a0Our experts will be on site to discuss three core areas shaping the future of Intelligent Industry:<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n

Technology Area<\/h3><\/div>

Key Topics: Physical & Real\u2011World AI \u00b7 Digital Sovereignty<\/p><\/div>

In this area, customers will experience how embodied AI brings intelligence into the physical world, even with limited data availability. Robots and autonomous systems are enabled to perceive, reason, learn, and act directly on the shopfloor. Through live demonstrations and real\u2011world use cases, visitors will see adaptive robotics, human\u2011robot collaboration, and AI\u2011driven manipulation in action\u2014illustrating how Physical AI transforms advanced automation into practical, scalable industrial impact.
Customers will also discover how industrial data, AI, and cloud technologies can be deployed in a secure, compliant, and Europe\u2011ready way. The showcase illustrates how manufacturers can maintain full control over data, intellectual property, and critical operations while still scaling and innovating. Using concrete architectures, partner solutions, and live examples, it demonstrates how to combine hyperscaler capabilities, edge computing, and open ecosystems without compromising sovereignty, security, or trust.

Technology | Humanoid Robot<\/strong>
A humanoid robot operates as part of the internal logistics chain in a real manufacturing environment. When materials in the production cell are consumed, the robot autonomously replenishes them by picking and placing components in the designated area.<\/p>

Operations Area<\/h3><\/div>

Key Topics: Agentic & Autonomous Operations \u00b7 Agentic & Resilient Supply Chains \u00b7 Industrial AI Foundation<\/p><\/div>

In our Operations Area, we demonstrate\u2014through joint offerings and a live production cell\u2014how agentic AI delivers immediate, measurable impact on the shopfloor. The focus is on improving workforce efficiency, reducing machine downtime, and lowering defect costs.
A hands\u2011on demonstration shows how AI strengthens supply\u2011chain resilience and enables more stable, independent production. By anticipating disruptions and reducing the impact of geopolitical uncertainties, AI helps manufacturers maintain continuity and operational stability.
Unlocking the full potential of AI on the shopfloor requires a strong industrial AI foundation. This includes the integration of physical assets such as the Intel robot, seamless machine connectivity enabled by partners like Cybus, and the establishment of semantic data structures that form the basis for intelligent, automated decision\u2011making.

Operations | Production Cell<\/strong>
A connected production cell demonstrates how manufacturing operations interact with physical AI. A human and an industrial robot collaboratively produce components of a Mars Rover. A chatbot provides real\u2011time insights into machine status, production progress, and orders, while service tickets are generated automatically.<\/p>

Product Area<\/h3><\/div>

Key Topics: Integrated PLM \u00b7 AI\u2011Driven Engineering<\/p><\/div>

In the Product Area, the Mars Rover centerpiece frames the overarching narrative: AI is transforming engineering from document\u2011based handovers to continuous, model\u2011based development. Here, AI can drive requirements, explore design alternatives, predict impacts, and support verification. The showcase highlights how industrial companies move toward holistic PLM integration to harmonize engineering disciplines, improve collaboration, and deliver faster, quality\u2011driven lifecycle outcomes.

The Mars Rover is anchored in Digital Continuity, connecting PLM with other enterprise systems to ensure data flows and workflows remain aligned across the entire lifecycle. By combining agentic sustainable product design with AI\u2011supported wiring, the showcase makes PLM\u2011based engineering tangible\u2014demonstrating how AI compresses time\u2011to\u2011design, reduces rework, boosts efficiency, and enhances both product performance and sustainability.

Product | Mars Rover<\/strong>
The Mars Rover is a modular physical demonstrator showcasing Capgemini\u2019s AI and PLM expertise. Visitors enter high\u2011level requirements via chat, triggering specialized AI agents that configure, validate, and orchestrate the engineering setup end\u2011to\u2011end.<\/p>
