IOTA is to be heavily featured at a major industry conference in Germany tomorrow as a number of companies will be demonstrating its industrial applications.

The conference is called the Hannover Messe. It is one of the biggest industrial trade shows in the world, with a history going back to 1947. According to its official website, last year it featured 6,500 exhibitors, attracted 225,000 attendees from more than 70 countries, and facilitated 5.6 million business contracts.

The 2018 Messe will be opened by Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, and Enrique Peña Nieto, President of Mexico.

The founders of IOTA said that a number of companies will be presenting use cases, including Bosch, DXC, Deutsche Telekom, Accessec GmbH, and Fujitsu.

The IOTA Foundation was established in 2015, and its coin MIOTA exploded in value at the end of last year, at one point even surpassing Ripple in market capitalisation. This was the result of the company's announcement that it was partnering with more than 20 companies to create a new data marketplace. One of those partners was apparently Microsoft, although it later emerged that their relationship was not as official as it was originally made out to be.

In the few weeks leading up to the Hannover Messe, its value has approximately doubled.
