The new motto of COMPAMED in Düsseldorf, Germany, is ‘Meet Health. Technology. Innovators.’ and sums up everything that the world's leading trade fair for the medical technology industry's supplier sector will have to offer from November 17 – 20, 2025 (held concurrently with the MEDICA trade fair). The approximately 750 exhibiting companies at COMPAMED 2025 will present an impressive variety of high-tech solutions and innovations that help drive medical progress. The spectrum of supplier expertise for medical technology, which will be the focus of Halls 8a and 8b, covers five key areas: Manufacturing & Devices (including components, parts, manufacturing processes), Services & Advice (e.g. research, development, services), Materials (including plastics, glass, ceramics, metals, composites, adhesives, packaging), Micro Tech (such as microcomponents, microfluidics) and IT in Tech (software development and maintenance for medical technology). The two specialist forums, the COMPAMED HIGH-TECH FORUM (by IVAM) and the COMPAMED SUPPLIERS FORUM (by DeviceMed), will once again be important meeting places for in-depth professional exchange.

In combination with the offerings of MEDICA, the leading international trade fair for the healthcare industry and medical technology, more than 5,000 exhibitors from 70 nations will showcase trends and innovations for tomorrow's healthcare and – unique worldwide – along the entire medical technology value chain. This results in strong synergy effects: COMPAMED exhibitors develop solutions and supplier products that are used by MEDICA exhibitors in the finished ‘end product’.

This year's COMPAMED will focus in particular on the hot topics currently shaping the medical technology supply sector: ‘cybersecurity and data security’, ‘technology and material innovations’ and ‘the international medical market’.
COMPAMED HIGH-TECH FORUM highlights key technologies

The COMPAMED HIGH-TECH FORUM is organized by the IVAM Microtechnology Network in cooperation with Messe Düsseldorf. This year, the forum in Hall 8a (Stand G40) will once again be the place to go for the most important current topics in the supplier industry.

‘The trade fair audience appreciates practical formats – that's why we are once again focusing on hands-on sessions in 2025, for example in the field of microfluidics. The program will be complemented by sessions on photonics and sensor technology, key technologies that make medical technology smaller, smarter and more cost-efficient,’ explains Tim Merforth, Managing Director of IVAM.
