Com­pa­nies Shine at Han­nover Messe: Col­lab­o­ra­tion with Baden-Würt­tem­berg

Han­nover Messe 2025 was held recent­ly from March 31 to April 4, 2025, in Han­nover, Ger­many and Busi­nes­sOulu par­tic­i­pat­ed in the trade fair with four com­pa­nies from Oulu: PrintoCent/VTT, Cooli­blade, Sen­sor­fu, and Semant­ti. Oulu-based com­pa­nies were part of the Baden-Würt­tem­berg state stand, which is a long-term col­lab­o­ra­tion mod­el. This coop­er­a­tion offers sig­nif­i­cant oppor­tu­ni­ties for the nordic com­pa­nies to bet­ter con­nect and net­work with Ger­man com­pa­nies. The com­pa­nies’ par­tic­i­pa­tion in the fair was made pos­si­ble by the sup­port of BOIM project and allowed com­pa­nies to show­case their assets and inno­va­tions on a glob­al stage.

PrintoCent/VTT spe­cial­izes in print­ed intel­li­gence and hybrid elec­tron­ics, offer­ing a world-class pilot facil­i­ty for devel­op­ing and com­mer­cial­iz­ing new tech­nolo­gies.

Cooli­blade devel­ops advanced cool­ing solu­tions that enhance per­for­mance and reduce ther­mal stress in indus­tri­al and ener­gy appli­ca­tions.

Sen­sor­fu pro­vides a net­work secu­ri­ty plat­form that detects and pre­vents data leaks before they can be exploit­ed, automat­ing man­u­al inspec­tions and ensur­ing con­tin­u­ous net­work iso­la­tion.

Semant­ti devel­ops oper­a­tional data trans­for­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy that con­verts frag­ment­ed infor­ma­tion into action­able insights and pre­dic­tions, improv­ing oper­a­tional accu­ra­cy and speed.

Han­nover Messe is one of the world’s largest indus­tri­al trade fairs. The theme of Han­nover Messe 2025 was “Indus­tri­al Trans­for­ma­tion”. The event show­cased advanced tech­nolo­gies and solu­tions shap­ing the future of indus­try, includ­ing autonomous robots, gen­er­a­tive AI, and cli­mate-neu­tral pro­duc­tion. The event offers com­pa­nies the oppor­tu­ni­ty to net­work, estab­lish new part­ner­ships, and find poten­tial cus­tomers. The Oulu-based com­pa­nies ben­e­fit­ed sig­nif­i­cant­ly from being part of the Baden-Würt­tem­berg state stand. Busi­nes­sOulu’s par­tic­i­pa­tion in Han­nover Messe is part of a long-term col­lab­o­ra­tion mod­el, where Oulu-based com­pa­nies can show­case their exper­tise and prod­ucts on inter­na­tion­al mar­kets. This col­lab­o­ra­tion mod­el has proven to be high­ly ben­e­fi­cial, as it pro­vides com­pa­nies with the oppor­tu­ni­ty to expand their net­works and find new busi­ness oppor­tu­ni­ties.

The Busi­ness Oppor­tu­ni­ties for Inter­na­tion­al Mar­ket project (BOIM) is an EU-sup­port­ed inter­na­tion­al­iza­tion project for SMEs. The goal of the BOIM project is to find new inter­na­tion­al busi­ness oppor­tu­ni­ties for SMEs in the region and to help com­pa­nies find new inter­na­tion­al net­works and increase export trade and jobs in the region. The project is imple­ment­ed by Busi­nes­sOulu as part of inter­na­tion­al­iza­tion and export ser­vices. The financier of the project is the Fed­er­a­tion of Pohjois-Poh­jan­maan liit­to, which finances the project as part of the Renew­ing and Com­pe­tent Fin­land 2021–2027, the EU’s region­al and struc­tur­al pol­i­cy pro­gram, from the Euro­pean Region­al Devel­op­ment Fund (ERDF).
