“President Obama’s participation sends a special signal about HANNOVER MESSE’s international appeal,” said Dr. Jochen Köckler, member of the managing board at Deutsche Messe AG. “And the timing is perfect: in the midst of its reindustrialization the United States has become a very attractive business partner for industry. For German machinery and plant manufacturers, the USA is once again the number one market.”

德國漢諾威展覽公司董事局成員Jochen Köckler博士表示：“奧巴馬總統的出席充分展示了漢諾威工業博覽會的國際吸引力。而時機同樣完美：在其再工業化進程中，美國已成為一個非常有吸引力的工業貿易伙伴。對于德國機械和工廠設備制造商而言，美國再次成為最大的市場。”
