As one of the world's most innovative industries, the medical technology industry faces a challenging environment and turbulent times. Artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, digitalization and interconnected care are the features of the changing healthcare business. At the same time, regulatory requirements, disrupted supply chains, an increasing shortage of skilled workers, combined with new geopolitical risks and trade restrictions are a challenge to manufacturers and their suppliers. Amidst this tension, MEDICA 2025 and COMPAMED 2025 will offer guidance, exchange, and perspectives from November 17 – 20, 2025 in Düsseldorf, Germany - as the leading international information and communication platforms for the entire medical technology value chain.
In spring 2025, the MEDICA team introduced the new campaign motto “Meet Health. Future. People.”, a motto that indicates the further development of the content of the thematic areas and program formats. With the participation of several thousand exhibiting companies, the full spectrum of innovations for forward-looking medical care can be experienced live in one place. Renowned personalities will offer exciting insights and best practices on hot topics during their presentations and discussions. Professionals from all healthcare sectors will be able to make valuable contacts across the globe.
Two especially prestigious visitors are expected at the start of MEDICA 2025: German Federal Health Minister Nina Warken and North Rhine-Westphalia Health Minister Karl-Josef Laumann have confirmed their attendance at the opening of the 48th German Hospital Conference. “A new start for hospital policy – Courage to make changes” is the motto of this year’s Hospital Conference, which will again take in the center of the MEDICA trade fair (in Hall 10). In times when reforms, workforce issues and supply quality in the healthcare sector are being talked about on a daily basis, the appearances by Nina Warken and Karl-Josef Laumann on November 17 promise exciting conversation topic in direct dialogue with high-ranking decision-makers from German hospitals.

Dr. Jens Uwe Schreck, Managing Director of the Association of Hospital Directors Germany (VKD), is convinced of the location of the Hospital Day: “It was an excellent decision to locate the German Hospital Conference inside the trade fair halls. It allows even better and more intensive exchange between trade fair visitors, Hospital Conference participants and the exhibitors with their innovations.” Looking at this year's agenda, Dr. Schreck considers topics such as the resilience of hospitals in terms of disaster management, including the occurrence of a large number of casualties, the reduction of bureaucracy, and the “streamlining of the healthcare system from excessive regulations” to be particularly important.
