No HANNOVER MESSE in 2020
2020汉诺威工业博览会取消

HANNOVER MESSE cannot take place this year due to the increasingly critical situation surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic. The Hannover region has issued a decree that prohibits the staging of the world's leading tradeshow for industrial technology. From now until the next HANNOVER MESSE in April 2021, a digital information and networking offer will provide exhibitors and visitors with the opportunity for economic policy orientation and technological exchange.

由于新冠肺炎疫情全球大流行的形势日益严峻，汉诺威工业博览会今年无法举行。汉诺威地区颁布法令，禁止举办全球性工业技术贸易展。从现在到2021年4月的下一届汉诺威工业博览会，一个数字信息和网络平台将为参展商和参观者提供了解经济政策导向和进行技术交流的机会。

The world of industry will not be able to meet in Hannover this year. Comprehensive travel restrictions, bans on group gatherings and a prohibition decree in the Hannover region make it impossible to stage HANNOVER MESSE. At the same time, the corona crisis is affecting the economy, and the manufacturing industry – HANNOVER MESSE's core clientele – is already struggling with serious consequences of the pandemic. Demand and sales in German industry are declining, resulting in supply bottlenecks, production stops and reduced working hours for employees.

工业界今年将无法在汉诺威进行会面。汉诺威地区实行的全面旅行限制、禁止团体聚会和相关禁令导致汉诺威工业博览会无法举办。与此同时，新型冠状病毒危机正在影响经济；汉诺威工业博览会的核心客户——制造业也在与这场流行病造成的严重后果苦苦抗争。德国工业的需求和销售额呈下降趋势，造成供给瓶颈产生、停产和员工工作时间减少。

"Given the dynamic development around Covid-19 and the extensive restrictions on public and economic life, HANNOVER MESSE cannot take place this year," says Dr. Jochen Köckler, Chairman of the Board of Management, Deutsche Messe AG. "Our exhibitors, partners and our entire team did everything they could to make it happen, but today we have to accept that in 2020 it will not be possible to host the world's most important industrial event."

“鉴于新冠病毒的迅速发展以及对公共和经济生活的全面限制，今年无法举办汉诺威工业博览会，”德国汉诺威展览公司董事会主席柯克勒博士说道。“尽管我们的参展商、合作伙伴和整个团队竭尽所能争取实现这一目标，但今天我们必须接受，这个世界上最重要的工业盛会今年不可能举行了。”

It is the first time in HANNOVER MESSE's 73-year history that the event will not take place. However, the organizers will not let the show completely vanish. "The need for orientation and exchange is particularly important in times of crisis," says Köckler. "That is why we are currently working intensely on a digital information and networking plattform for HANNOVER MESSE that we will open to our customers shortly."

这是汉诺威工业博览会73年历史上首次停办。不过，主办方不会让这届展会完全消失。“在危机时期，对政策导向和交流的需求尤为突出”，柯克勒博士说道，“为此，我们目前正紧急地进行一个数字信息和网络平台的开发，并很快向客户开放。
