A highlight of the week was the Canada–Germany Networking Luncheon, “Building Bridges: AI, Energy, and Research Opportunities.” On April 21, Masterly CEO Dr. Majid Janidarmian joined leaders from industry, government, and research for a panel discussion on collaboration across AI, energy, and research. The session opened with remarks from The Honourable Victor Fedeli, Ontario’s Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade, and David West, Mayor of Richmond Hill. Robert Mastrotto moderated the discussion.

During the event, Minister Fedeli also visited the Masterly booth. Dr. Janidarmian introduced him to the Masterly ecosystem and shared the company’s vision for innovation and human-centered technology.

Throughout Hannover Messe, Masterly took part in conversations about:

• AI and advanced manufacturing

• Energy systems and infrastructure

• International research and business collaboration

• Building practical partnerships across industries and borders

The visit continued beyond the exhibition, with networking, site visits, and strategic discussions in Regensburg. Together, these engagements opened pathways for international partnerships across AI, mobility, and innovation.

As Dr. Janidarmian reflected, “We achieved what would typically take months of international business development, in just one week.”

We thank York Region Economic Development for its planning and coordination, and Gordon Scheel, CITP, and Katie Maginn, Senior Business Development Advisors with the Regional Municipality of York, for their leadership and support. We are also grateful to NGen and the Ontario delegation for helping create opportunities for meaningful dialogue and collaboration.

Hannover Messe 2026 strengthened Masterly’s international relationships and created momentum for future work across AI, energy, manufacturing, and research. Strong partnerships turn ideas into impact.
