Welding & Cutting 2023 - World's Leading Trade Fair for Joining, Cutting and Coating

With Welding & Cutting 2023 (Schweissen & Schneiden), the world's leading trade fair for joining, cutting and coating will again be held in Essen in mid-September together with the DVS Congress. One focus at the international industry get-together is digitalization.

The program for Schweissen & Schneiden 2023, the world's leading trade fair for joining, cutting and coating, is becoming more concrete. Numerous events at the trade fair will offer visitors to Messe Essen real added value for their own business. Project Manager Christina Kleinpaß reveals: "Above all, we will be focusing on the topic of digitalization from September 11 to 15. We are very pleased that, together with DVS - Deutscher Verband für Schweißen und verwandte Verfahren e. V. (German Welding and Allied Processes Association), we are cooperating with the Industry Fusion Foundation IFF in this for the first time."

The focus of the foundation is the development of a multi-vendor open source networking solution for the manufacturing industry. The IFF, DVS and Messe Essen will organize a digital rally at Schweissen & Schneiden 2023 in which trade visitors will learn more about specific use cases and their benefits in an entertaining way. Know-how and the transfer of knowledge are also the focus of the DVS CONGRESS, which will take place during the world's leading trade fair in the nearby Congress Center West of Messe Essen. Here, the participants can inform themselves in lectures from operational practice and about the latest findings from current research projects. Another highlight of the trade fair participation of DVS - Deutscher Verband für Schweißen und verwandte Verfahren e. V. (German Welding Society) is the final of the national competition "Jugend schweißt" (Young Welders). Germany's best male and female welders between 16 and 23 years of age will show their skills here.

In addition, several themed areas await trade visitors. The area of underwater technology is becoming increasingly important - Hall 7 has its own information area for this. The focal point is a diving container in which experts demonstrate this sophisticated welding technology as well as the matching equipment. Trade visitors who want to find out about a country's products and services will find the international joint stands an ideal place to start. There, companies present their products and services together with other exhibitors from their country. This year there will be such national stands from China, France, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and the USA.

The German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology is sponsoring another joint booth at Schweissen & Schneiden 2023: It is giving start-ups the opportunity to present themselves at the trade show at low cost with the Young Innovative Companies program. Trade visitors interested in new ideas should already make a note of Hall 3. There, the young companies will be placed and show their future-oriented solutions. (OM-04/23)
