Hannover. At SurfaceTechnology GERMANY, which will be held from May 5 – 7 at the Stuttgart Exhibition Center, the participating companies will be showcasing their products, solutions, and innovations that will shape the future of surface technology.

Looking ahead to the coming years, surface technology will remain a dynamic field characterized by innovation, environmental awareness, and technological excellence. Companies, research institutions, and politicians are working together to develop sustainable future solutions that are both ecologically and economically viable. "And this is precisely where we come in as trade fair organizers," explains Ramtin Randjbar-Moshtaghin, Project Director at Deutsche Messe AG in Hannover since June 1 this year. "As an international trade fair for surface technology, we offer both exhibitors and visitors alike a platform for networking and exchanging ideas. Discussing the challenges together and finding tailor-made solutions for everyone."

Focus on sustainability and environmental protection

Nowadays, sustainable surface technology is growing in importance. Companies are increasingly focusing on environmentally friendly processes to reduce their ecological footprint. Research is centered on innovative coating technologies that use fewer resources and are less polluting at the same time. Recycling concepts for chemical substances and waste are also being developed to further minimize the environmental impact. These measures not only help to protect our planet, but also strengthen the industry's competitiveness in an increasingly environmentally conscious economy.

Technological challenges and future prospects

Despite these advances, those working in surface technology still face significant challenges. Developing durable, resistant coatings that are also environmentally friendly requires highly complex research work. It is also important to make production processes more efficient to reduce costs and increase sustainability. Integrating new technologies such as artificial intelligence and automation promises to lead the industry into an innovative future. Experts agree: the combination of sustainable approaches and technological innovation will have a significant impact on surface technology and also set new standards.
