At DMEA 2026, which will be taking place in Berlin from April 21 to 23, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft will be presenting technologies for analyzing health-related data that are designed to reduce the burden on medical staff and facilitate data-based applications in research and care. Five institutes will be presenting their latest developments at the joint Fraunhofer booth (Booth D-109, Hall 2.2). These range from AI-assisted symptom analysis and data spaces that allow for health data to be securely shared to assistance systems for medical documentation, data-based decision-making support and solutions for training and evaluating AI models for medical data.\nmore info\n1.4.2026\nModule-Level Sensor System Detects Faults in Large Photovoltaic Power Plants Early\nPresent systems do not monitor large PV plants on the module level. Yet that is exactly where faults occur, which affect the connection of several solar modules in series, that is, the complete string. Research scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation IFF are developing a sensor system together with partners, which provides a detailed view down to the module level, thus detecting all kinds of anomalies, soiling and defects early.\nmore info\n1.4.2026\nCustomized Fertilization\nOverfertilization in agriculture weakens crops, endangers drinking water quality and harms the soil. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB are now developing an alternative fertilizer that is fully biodegradable and only supplies plants with the nutri-ents they actually need, thus preventing overfertilization.\nmore info\n1.4.2026\nRemoving Corporate Data from AI Models\nThe development of AI models in joint projects yields improved results because multiple companies contribute their data. The situation becomes critical, however, if a partner withdraws and requests the return of its data.

At DMEA 2026, which will be taking place in Berlin from April 21 to 23, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft will be presenting technologies for analyzing health-related data that are designed to reduce the burden on medical staff and facilitate data-based applications in research and care. Five institutes will be presenting their latest developments at the joint Fraunhofer booth (Booth D-109, Hall 2.2). These range from AI-assisted symptom analysis and data spaces that allow for health data to be securely shared to assistance systems for medical documentation, data-based decision-making support and solutions for training and evaluating AI models for medical data.\n\n[more info](https:\/\/www.fraunhofer.de\/en\/press\/research-news\/2026\/april-2026\/Fraunhofer-at-dmea-2026.html)\n\n1\\.4.2026\n\n### Module-Level Sensor System Detects Faults in Large Photovoltaic Power Plants Early\nPresent systems do not monitor large PV plants on the module level. Yet that is exactly where faults occur, which affect the connection of several solar modules in series, that is, the complete string. Research scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation IFF are developing a sensor system together with partners, which provides a detailed view down to the module level, thus detecting all kinds of anomalies, soiling and defects early.\n\n[more info](https:\/\/www.fraunhofer.de\/en\/press\/research-news\/2026\/april-2026\/module-level-sensor-system-detects-faults-in-large-photovoltaic-power-plants-early.html)\n\n1\\.4.2026\n\n### Customized Fertilization\nOverfertilization in agriculture weakens crops, endangers drinking water quality and harms the soil. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB are now developing an alternative fertilizer that is fully biodegradable and only supplies plants with the nutri-ents they actually need, thus preventing overfertilization.\n\n[more info](https:\/\/www.fraunhofer.de\/en\/press\/research-news\/2026\/april-2026\/customized-fertilization.html)\n\n1\\.4.2026\n\n### Removing Corporate Data from AI Models\nThe development of AI models in joint projects yields improved results because multiple companies contribute their data. The situation becomes critical, however, if a partner withdraws and requests the return of its data. With federated unlearning, Fraunhofer researchers and Fujitsu Research have developed a method for precisely removing data from decentralized AI models.\n\n[more info](https:\/\/www.fraunhofer.de\/en\/press\/research-news\/2026\/april-2026\/removing-corporate-data-from-ai-models.html)\n\n## Navigation and Social Media\n### Quick Links\n- [Companies](https:\/\/www.fraunhofer.de\/en\/quick-links\/companies.html)\n- [Scientists](https:\/\/www.fraunhofer.de\/en\/quick-links\/scientists.html)\n- [Alumni](https:\/\/www.fraunhofer.de\/en\/quick-links\/alumni.html)\n### Follow us\n- [job search](https:\/\/www.fraunhofer.de\/en\/jobs-and-career\/jobsearch.html)\n- [Sitemap](https:\/\/www.fraunhofer.de\/en\/sitemap.html)\n- [Procurement](https:\/\/www.fraunhofer.de\/en\/procurement.html)\n- [GTC](https:\/\/www.fraunhofer.de\/en\/gtc.html)\n- [SPT](https:\/\/www.fraunhofer.de\/en\/spt.html)\n- [Publishing Notes](https:\/\/www.fraunhofer.de\/en\/publishing-notes.html)\n- [Data Protection Information](https:\/\/www.fraunhofer.de\/en\/data-protection-policy.html)\n\n© 2026\n\n**Source: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft - Homepage Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft**\n\nOnline in Internet; URL: https:\/\/www.fraunhofer.de\/en.html\n\nDate: 9.4.2026 17:14","attrs_readable_markdown":"### Fraunhofer at the HANNOVER MESSE\n#### April 20–24, 2026\nUnder the motto “Innovations for our Future,” the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft will present its latest solutions.\n\nNine Fraunhofer institutes and groups, together with the Research Fab Microelectronics Germany (FMD), will be showcasing technologies for a resilient, sustainable and digitally networked industry.\n\n© Markus Jürgens \/ Fraunhofer\n\n19\\.3.2026\n\n### Hugo Geiger Prize 2025\nThis year’s Hugo Geiger Prize for the best doctoral theses in applied research goes to three early-career researchers from Jena and Freiburg.
