Know-how and innovations for the healthcare business along the entire value chain

The healthcare business and the medical technology sector are moving dynamically forward, driven by ever new technical developments. Innovative, digital and connected – this is how the sector defies challenging market and general conditions. Keeping pace with the industry, the MEDICA and COMPAMED trade fairs are also holding their own with their combination of globally unique platforms for business and information, serving the entire added value chain of medical-technology systems and products – including manufacturing and development. Based on the exhibitor registration numbers to date, more than 6,000 companies from 70 nations are once again expected to participate at the fairgrounds in Düsseldorf, Germany from November 11 – 14, 2024.

“With a volume of approximately 140 billion euros, the market for medical technology in Europe is extremely important for many of our exhibitors. Regardless of healthcare policy debates, this is equally true for the German market, which alone accounts for 40 billion euros”, says Christian Grosser, Director Health & Medical Technologies at Messe Düsseldorf, explaining why exhibiting companies benefit. Grosser also considers the 2024 date to be set with a view to the trade visitors attending: “In order to be fit for tomorrow’s healthcare, it is critical to remain up to date by way of networking, knowledge transfer and innovations at the highest level. MEDICA in Düsseldorf has been providing excellent opportunities to do this for over half a century.”

At MEDICA 2024, five worlds of experience promise a comprehensive range of innovations for the treatment of outpatients and clinical use. The online database of companies and products at the www.medica-tradefair.com (which currently lists more than 12,700 products and services) offers a first glimpse. The worlds of experience are: Lab Technology and Diagnostics, Medical Technology and Electromedicine, Commodities and Consumables, Physiotherapy and Orthopedic Technology as well as IT Systems and IT Solutions.

Held concurrently with MEDICA again will be COMPAMED which has been a success story for more than thirty years and has developed into an absolute hotspot for complex high-tech solutions. About 750 exhibiting companies will present their specialized knowledge as manufacturers and suppliers at COMPAMED 2024, also in five worlds of experience: Manufacturing & Devices (e.g., components, parts, manufacturing processes), Services & Advice (e.g., research, development, services), Materials (e.g., plastics, glass, ceramics, metals, composite materials, adhesives, packaging), Micro Tech (such as micro components, microfluidics) as well as IT in Tech (software development and maintenance for medical technology).
