RT-One present at Hannover Messe 2026 in Germany

The Hannover Messe 2026, which is taking place this week (April 20 to 24), is consolidating Brazil as the major global protagonist this time. As Brazil is the Partner Country for this edition, the fair is not just a technology event, but a diplomatic and commercial milestone for Brazilian companies.

Here are the central points defining the fair this year:

1. Brazil at the Center Stage
   This is Brazil's year in Hannover. The opening featured the presence of President Lula and the German Chancellor, reinforcing partnerships in clean energy and reindustrialization. The “Brazil Pavilion” is huge, focused on showing that the country is not just a commodities exporter, but a leader in decarbonization solutions and applied AI.
2. Industrial AI: From Theory to Practice
   Unlike previous editions, where AI was a promise, in 2026 the focus is on Generative AI on the factory floor.
   • Autonomous Robots: Machines that learn and adapt in real-time without the need for constant manual programming.
   • Predictive Maintenance: Systems that use AI to predict failures with surgical precision, saving millions in downtime.
3. “Energizing a Sustainable Industry” (The Main Theme)
   The central theme focuses on the energy transition. The fair is showing how the industry can be “carbon zero” without losing competitiveness:
   • Green Hydrogen: Brazil is presenting robust projects to become the leading global supplier of this energy.
   • Energy Efficiency: Intelligent software that monitors and reduces CO2 consumption in real-time across the supply chain.
4. Digitalization and Connected Ecosystems
   The trend now is network collaboration. It is not enough for a company to be modern; it needs to be connected to an ecosystem. This involves:
   • Digital Twins: Complete simulations of entire factories in the virtual world before any physical changes.
   • Industrial Cybersecurity: As the world becomes more connected (IIoT), cybersecurity has shifted from being “extra” to being the heart of the operation.

Why does this matter for those who are there (Fernando Palamone – Global President of RT-ONE)?
Being in Hannover now means having direct access to what will be the industry standard in the next 10 years. For Brazilian executives, it is the opportunity to close technology transfer contracts and position companies like RT-ONE at the forefront of smart and sustainable manufacturing.

The fair concludes today with discussions about the future of the human workforce in an automation-dominated environment.
