With more than 5,000 exhibitors from 72 countries and around 80,000 visitors, MEDICA is one of the most important B2B trade fairs for the healthcare sector worldwide. The trade fair covers a broad spectrum – ranging from medical imaging and lab technology, diagnostics and healthcare IT to mobile healthcare solutions, orthopaedic technology and medical materials. The accompanying framework programme with fora, conferences and special exhibitions provided numerous opportunities for dialogue with representatives from academia, business and government. Furthermore, MEDICA is regarded as the central international event for the presentation of AI-based applications and technological innovation in the healthcare sector.
