CeBIT, Computer expo at Hanover Fairground, Germany

The Hanover Fairground exhibition center hosts international technology companies displaying computers, software, telecommunications equipment, and digital innovations across 450,000 square meters of space.

Founded in 1970 as part of the Hanover Fair, CeBIT became an independent exhibition in 1986 and grew to attract 850,000 visitors during the technology sector peak in 2001.

The name CeBIT originates from German words Centrum für Büroautomation, Informationstechnologie und Telekommunikation, representing the exhibition's focus on office automation and information technology.

The exhibition provided facilities including translation services, meeting rooms, restaurants, internet access, and parking spaces for thousands of international visitors and exhibitors.

Police conducted raids during the 2008 exhibition, investigating 51 companies for patent infringement violations, marking an unprecedented legal action at a technology trade show.
