Around 50 startups from eight countries are exhibiting at this year’s EMO Hannover in Hall 6, Stand C11 and F18. "This is now the fourth time that we are running the Startup Area at the EMO. It is a concept which helps to create connections between well-established companies in our industry and up-and-coming technology companies," says Stephanie Simon, who is in charge of organizing the EMO Startup Area on behalf of the VDW. "Our Startup Area is sold out. The strong demand despite a difficult economic situation shows that, together with the VDMA Startup Machine, we have now built up a very good reputation among startups. And they expect good business opportunities from their participation in the EMO," she says happily. In total, almost 80 startups will be exhibiting at the EMO 2025.
