The presence of 5,800 exhibitors from across the globe underlined the diversity of innovations and technologies on display. The event served as a launchpad for groundbreaking solutions in fields such as personalized medicine, artificial intelligence, robotic surgery, telemedicine, and advanced medical devices. 

Over 90 percent of the professionals who attended the event have decision-making authority, and more than 90 percent expressed satisfaction with their participation. 

“This boosts our exhibitors’ business. Overall, the trade fair’s success shows us that the international competition for leadership in medical technology innovation is gaining momentum and, as in other industries, companies from Asia are also heavily involved. In addition to the German companies participating, other national and regional businesses from Europe, China, South Korea, India and, of course, Japan and Taiwan were particularly well represented with top innovations. We are particularly pleased with the large number of exhibitors from the United States, which once again made up almost 10 percent of all exhibitors, with their variety of joint booths, including those representing multiple US states”, explains Christian Grosser, Director Health & Medical Technologies at Messe Düsseldorf.
