CeBIT 2017 with Japan as partner country

When Chancellor Merkel met Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzō Abe in Berlin during his visit to Germany in May last year, she invited Japan to become the CeBIT partner country. Abe replied that Japan was happy to accept the invitation. Germany is the largest and most important European trade partner for Japan and Hannover, in particular, has close ties with Japan. The city has been twinned with Hiroshima since 1938 and ever since, relations between the two cities have been continuously fostered by clubs and initiatives, peace groups and in the form of reciprocal visits. Hannover’s Lord Mayor Stefan Schostok is also Vice-President of the organisation “Mayors for Peace”, which was founded by the Mayor of Hiroshima in 1982. CeBIT will take place from 20 to 24 March 2017.

HANNOVER MESSE 2017 with Poland as partner country

As one of the world’s most important industrial trade fairs, HANNOVER MESSE is the ideal place to showcase the strength of the Polish economy and to intensify the country’s trade relations, especially with Germany. And once again, Hannover has particularly close ties with the country: Poznań and Hannover signed a twinning agreement 37 years ago, on 29 October 1979. Countless civic connections between the cities are meanwhile actively pursued, such as close cooperation between the fire brigades, Hannover University of Applied Sciences and Arts, as well as various clubs and associations in Hannover with their counterparts in Poznań. The city councils and administrative sectors are well networked and meet regularly to discuss local government issues, latterly housing and family policies for instance. HANNOVER MESSE 2017 with Poland as partner country will take place at Hannover exhibition centre from 24 to 28 April 2017.
