No HANNOVER MESSE in 2020
2020漢諾威工業博覽會取消

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勢日益嚴峻，漢諾威工業博覽會今年無法舉行。漢諾威地區頒布法令，禁止舉辦全球性工業技術貿易展。從現在到2021年4月的下一屆漢諾威工業博覽會，一個數字信息和網絡平臺將為參展商和參觀者提供了解經濟政策導向和進行技術交流的機會。

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.

工業界今年將無法在漢諾威進行會面。漢諾威地區實行的全面旅行限制、禁止團體聚會和相關禁令導致漢諾威工業博覽會無法舉辦。與此同時，新型冠狀病毒危機正在影響經濟；漢諾威工業博覽會的核心客戶——制造業也在與這場流行病造成的嚴重后果苦苦抗爭。德國工業的需求和銷售額呈下降趨勢，造成供給瓶頸產生、停產和員工工作時間減少。

"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."

“鑒于新冠病毒的迅速發展以及對公共和經濟生活的全面限制，今年無法舉辦漢諾威工業博覽會，”德國漢諾威展覽公司董事會主席柯克勒博士說道。“盡管我們的參展商、合作伙伴和整個團隊竭盡所能爭取實現這一目標，但今天我們必須接受，這個世界上最重要的工業盛會今年不可能舉行了。”

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."

這是漢諾威工業博覽會73年歷史上首次停辦。不過，主辦方不會讓這屆展會完全消失。“在危機時期，對政策導向和交流的需求尤為突出”，柯克勒博士說道，“為此，我們目前正緊急地進行一個數字信息和網絡平臺的開發，并很快向客戶開放。
