From exhibitor to your list.

Kodo reads the whole exhibitor list and keeps only what fits you. Every stage is a check, not an estimate: what drops out, drops out with a reason.

The width of the stages is schematic, not a number. Only the exhibitor figure at the top comes from the organiser.

Hannover Messe for sales

Hannover Messe is the largest industrial trade fair in the world and the one week a year in which machine and plant building appears as a whole. For providers of components, automation, drives, metrology and software, the exhibitor list is a map of the companies bringing new products right now and building capacity for them.

From exhibitor to lead

Kodo reads the published exhibitor list, matches every exhibitor to a company and compares it with your target picture: depth of manufacturing, processes, size, area. Added to that is what the company shows otherwise: investments, open positions, growth in the annual accounts. The result is on your salesperson's conversation list weeks before the fair, with contact and source.
