Hannover Fairs Australia is part of Deutsche Messe AG and has operated in Australia since 2000. The business in Australia was established with the launch of CEBIT AUSTRALIA, the region’s longest and largest running business technology exhibition and conference, attracting 15,000 attendees each May. CEBIT is also held in Germany, India and Mexico. CeMAT Australia is targeted at the intralogistics industry and is also part of a global network of events. Our partnership with the Australasian Fire Authorities Council allied to our global Interschutz brand has led to the development of the AFAC powered by INTERSCHUTZ event, held annually and targeting emergency management professionals. GovInnovate is held in Canberra each year and focuses on the delivery of digital services within Government.

Deutsche Messe was founded in 1947 with the Hannover Export Fair, designed to get Germany back on its feet after World War Two. Now a €280 million business, the company is owned by the State of Lower Saxony and the City of Hannover.
