U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker Announces Largest-Ever Delegation to Attend 2016 Hannover Messe

Statement

Today, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker announced that she will lead the largest-ever U.S. delegation to Hannover Messe, the world's foremost trade fair for industrial technology, taking place April 25 to 29, 2016 in Hannover, Germany. For the first time in the Fair's history, the United States will be the Partner Country, which provides the more than 270 businesses and economic development organizations (EDOs) in the U.S. delegation an unprecedented opportunity to be prominently featured in U.S. exhibition halls and during special events.

President Obama will also participate in this year's event, themed "Integrated Industry-Join the Network."

"The United States is home to the most innovative and forward thinking companies in the world. But in today's global economy, it is not enough to simply be the best -- we must also let the world know that America is open for business," said Secretary Pritzker. "Hannover Messe is a unique opportunity for American companies to showcase their products and capabilities to thousands of global advanced manufacturing representatives."
