Vancouver, Canada – published Friday, November 22, 2024 – Westcoast German News Media is excited to remind our readers that Canada has been designated as the Partner Country for HANNOVER MESSE 2025, highlighting the robust economic and political relationships between “The True North” and Germany. This significant announcement originated in August 2022 when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau welcomed German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to Canada. The esteemed event, taking place March 31 to April 4, 2025, will showcase how international collaborations can drive progress toward a smarter and greener future.
As a member of the World Trade Organization and the only nation with trade agreements with all G7 countries, Canada upholds a diverse portfolio of agreements with 51 nations, encompassing critical partnerships like CETA (with the European Union), CPTPP (Trans-Pacific), and USMCA/CUSMA (with the United States and Mexico). With manufacturing and energy supply contributing approximately 10.5% to its Gross Domestic Product, Canada boasts robust sectors in automobile, food production, and mechanical engineering, especially in provinces such as Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta.
“Canada is honored to be Partner Country at HANNOVER MESSE 2025. This is an opportunity for Canadian businesses to take center stage and demonstrate their innovation and solutions to accelerate industrial transformation. We are excited to continue international collaboration and showcase over 200 Canadian companies representing a future that is green, digital, and resilient,” stated François-Philippe Champagne, Canada’s Minister of Innovation, Science, and Industry.
The partnership between Canada and Germany has been historically strong, with shared priorities in trade, energy, climate, critical minerals, and technological advancement. Initiatives like the Canada-Germany Hydrogen Alliance are critical for fostering necessary supply chain development aimed at global decarbonization.
In connection with this prestigious event, Westcoast German News Media is pleased to announce that it holds media accreditation for HANNOVER MESSE 2025. Elke Porter, founder and editor of the popular German Canadian Blog, will offer her services as a translator and personal photographer during the event, providing your company would provide a fully sponsored trip, including flights, accommodation, and meals.

Canada’s motto for HANNOVER MESSE, “The future’s here,” aptly reflects its commitment to fostering sustainable and environmentally conscious industries. The Canada Pavilion in Hall 2 will spotlight the nation’s science and innovation ecosystems, while additional sections will focus on artificial intelligence, automation, clean technologies, and robotics. Key events will include the Canada Conference Stage in Hall 2, the Canada-Germany Business Summit, and several networking opportunities to promote innovation and business prospects.
