For French exhibitor SIDAS (Podiatech Medical Foot Solutions), Thailand proved to be “a great location to target the rest of Southeast Asia and to look for relevant partners. It is one of the leading medical markets in the region, and with its strong tourist market also looking for medical treatments here - we found some very good leads,” said Laurent Vinter, Director, International Sales, Medical.
According to Sahin Aziz, Head of Global Business Development at ZKR Intelligent Healthcare Communication Solutions (who presented their nurse calling systems), MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND was the ideal platform to establish industry contacts in the region: “Thailand holds a unique strategic importance. It isn’t just a thriving medical hub, but it is also a gateway to the Southeast Asian markets. Given its significance in the regional medical landscape, MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND was the perfect venue for us to showcase our leading innovations and expand our reach further.”

Japanese pavilion organizer Shimane, Japan, who brought five exhibiting companies, was impressed with the quality and quantity of visitors at their booths: “Our companies are very happy and we are positively optimistic of our return to the next edition in 2025,” said Yoko Morihiro from the Overseas Expansion Support Office, Shimane Prefectural Government.
The positive local visitor numbers can also be attributed to the increase in hospital and group visits from various public and private hospitals, medical facilities and related establishments from Bangkok and the surrounding provinces. Bangkok Hospital, Rajavithi Hospital, Ramathibodi Chakri Naruebadindra Hospital, Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun Hospital, Sirindhorn Hospital, and Ramkhamkhaeng Hospital were among the 54 hospital and healthcare organizations who sent groups of representatives to MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND 2023.
The heightened interest from the local medical and healthcare sector in promoting Thailand’s expertise and capabilities was also reflected on the show floor by the three Thai pavilion organizers: the National Innovation Agency (NIA) of Thailand, Medical and Health Device Manufacturers Industry Club (MEDIC) under the auspices of The Federation of Thai Industries, and the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA).
The collaborative representation was also indicative of the country’s commitment to further strengthen its position as a leading hub for medical devices and a world-class provider of medical care under the Thailand 4.0 initiative. According to Srithip Utchin, Senior Consultant, NSTDA: “This year the collaboration and team up by three partner organizations under one strong Thai pavilion was to create impact and showcase the best of Thai medical devices and what the Thai medical device industry has to offer.”
