The final preparations for the MEDICA 2024 and COMPAMED 2024 trade fairs in Düsseldorf, Germany have begun. More than 6,000 exhibitors from about 70 countries will fill all the halls of the fairgrounds and, with their innovations, underline the role of both events as globally unique information and business platforms for the entire value chain of medical technology systems and products - including development and manufacturing. MEDICA and COMPAMED will take place from November 11 – 14, 2024.
In the MEDICA halls with the “Med Tech & Devices” and “Digital Health” worlds of experience, trade visitors will benefit from a thematically adapted hall allocation and a new location for the accompanying German Hospital Day. The leading event for the top management of German hospitals previously took place in the Congress Center Düsseldorf and is now moving to the center of the trade fair, in Hall 12. Companies exhibiting in the “Med Tech & Devices” world of experience with innovations for hospital equipment and operating room will be grouped around the event area.
“Another world of experience that is relevant for our audience of decision-makers in the healthcare sector is “Digital Health”, which we have now placed just next door in Hall 13 including its themed stage program and the high-traffic special exhibitions”, stated Christian Grosser, Director Health & Medical Technologies at Messe Düsseldorf, highlighting the advantages of theme-based synergistic effects and easy access for an efficient trade fair visit. Hall 13 will feature the MEDICA ECON FORUM, organized by the Techniker Krankenkasse health insurance fund, which will address current themes in healthcare policy (particularly regarding the digitalization of healthcare), the MEDICA INNOVATION FORUM (with its popular start-up pitches) and the special exhibitions “Hospital of the Future” (innovations on the topics of “Digital hospital infrastructure” and “Data usage exemplified by intensive care medicine”), the Wearable Technologies show and the MEDICA START-UP PARK as a hub for networking with the digitally based start-up scene.
