Speaking during the run-up to the fair, Dr Rolf Strittmatter, Managing Director of both Hamburg Invest and Hamburg Marketing, the organisers of Hamburg's digital presentation, said: “The coronavirus pandemic poses major challenges for the economy and the exchange between science and business. This year’s digital ‘Hannover Messe’ aims to connect some of the brightest minds of tomorrow’s key industries. As part of seven digital round-table talks, we will be highlighting Hamburg’s innovative power.”
Six such talks with industry representatives will focus on "H2 Strategy", "Infrastructure", "Port, Logistics and Shipping", "Aviation", "Production and Industry" and "Hydrogen Import" and will be moderated by Heinrich Klingenberg, a hydrogen expert at Hamburg Invest. The upcoming ITS World Congress will take centre stage during a later round-table discussion.
