Hannover Messe 2026 once again demonstrated why it is the central meeting point for industrial innovation. With industrial and physical AI as well as automation shaping conversations across every hall, standing out required more than technology alone. For TeamViewer, this year’s event was about making a clear statement. One focused on relevance in production and manufacturing environments, on trust, and on enabling the convergence of IT and OT at scale.
TeamViewer’s presence reflected a company that has moved well beyond its origins as a remote connectivity provider. At Hannover Messe, TeamViewer showed how its solutions support modern industrial operations and help customers rethink how people, machines and systems work together.
Driving IT and OT convergence through real conversations
Across the week, discussions at the TeamViewer booth centered on one theme: how to securely connect IT and OT worlds in complex industrial settings.
Manufacturing companies face growing pressure to modernize production, ensure uptime, and enable collaboration across teams that traditionally operate in separate domains. TeamViewer positioned itself as a trusted partner for precisely these challenges.
Conversations with customers and partners focused on practical use cases, from remote access to production systems to secure support and AR workflows for frontline workers. Rather than abstract concepts, the discussions reflected everyday realities on the factory floor and in production environments.
Making industrial use cases tangible with live demonstrations
Hands-on demonstrations played a key role in turning strategy into something visitors could experience directly. Highlights included the “broken” claw machine that visitors could fix with the help of TeamViewer’s AI agent, and the huge feeding robot of TeamViewer’s customer GEA Farming, an eye catcher of itself, that added a real customer case to the booth experience with our Augmented Reality solution TeamViewer Frontline Spatial.
Also, the launch of a new hardware gateway developed in cooperation with Bechtle and Kontron sparked conversations about secure access to industrial production environments.
Strong voices shaping the industry conversation
TeamViewer’s presence extended well beyond its own booth. Toto Wolff, CEO of the Mercedes AMG PETRONAS F1 Team, joined TeamViewer on site and appeared alongside our CEO, Oliver Steil, in a panel discussion on the Hannover Messe center stage. Their conversation highlighted leadership perspectives at the intersection of Formula One racing performance, technology and transformation.
Further discussions continued at the Siemens booth, where Oliver and Tony Hemmelgarn, CEO of our partner Siemens Digital Industries Software, explored industrial digitalization and collaboration within the ecosystem. In a live masterclass on Wednesday, TeamViewer’s Sven Jacob explained how companies can secure machine uptime through immersive training workflows.
These moments underlined TeamViewer’s strong industry footprint and its role in shaping broader conversations around the future of production and manufacturing.
A trusted partner in a strong industrial ecosystem
What tied all these elements together was one consistent message. TeamViewer is a trusted partner for industrial companies looking to modernize operations, improve efficiency and build secure digital foundations.
