Hannover Messe 2026

It is official: We are setting up camp in Hanover at the Hannover Messe! From April 20 to 24, we will be exhibiting for the first time to support the industry with one of the most important topics of our time: Digital Sovereignty.

The industry is under pressure – and not just in the factory halls. In IT departments, the pressure is growing due to soaring license costs and increasing dependence on large, proprietary software manufacturers. You have long been familiar with this situation from database providers, but also from the cloud, and more recently from the field of virtualization. Large corporations force companies into vendor lock-in and shamelessly exploit it.

We believe: It is time for a new independence.

Therefore, we are pleased to be exhibiting for the first time this year at the Hannover Messe (April 20 – 24, 2026)! Under the motto “Open Source for Business – Digital Sovereignty Made in Germany”, we will show you how to regain control over your IT.

Why you should visit us at booth L46 in hall 14:

Many companies currently face the challenge that familiar licensing models are being discontinued or prices are being drastically increased. We offer you the solution:

• Cost reduction without compromise: Discover how switching to PostgreSQL or Linux can massively reduce your operating costs without sacrificing enterprise standards.
• Echte Digitale Souveränität: Wir zeigen Ihnen, wie Sie sich aus dem „Vendor Lock-in“ befreien und Ihre Datenhoheit sichern.
• Support “Made in Germany”: For us, open source means maximum freedom without being left on your own. We provide professional 24/7 support for business-critical infrastructures—directly from Germany.

Shall we meet in person?

A trade fair thrives on exchange. We cordially invite you to speak with our experts about your individual IT strategy. Whether it concerns migrating your databases, cloud automation, virtualization, or securing your Linux environment—we listen.

Our highlight for you: Simply bring your current challenge (or your latest license invoice). We will review it together and present vendor-independent alternatives.

Schedule an appointment now: Secure your complimentary visitor ticket and a fixed time slot for an expert consultation. Simply send us a brief email to vertrieb@credativ.de or use our contact form.

We look forward to welcoming you in Hannover and strengthening your company’s digital sovereignty together!
