Officials at Messe Dusseldorf, organizers of the international trade fair called Medica, say that current overall positive conditions in the medtech market mean an uptick in exhibitor registrations for their annual event. Medica 2011 is held from Nov. 16-19 in Düsseldorf, Germany.
So far, approximately 4,500 exhibitors have booked about 1.2 million square feet of space at the world's largest medical trade fair, an increase compared to last year, show organizers said. Two-thirds of the exhibitors are from countries other than Germany and more than 60 countries will be represented.
The market is characterized by a lively exchange of goods. More than half of the medical devices, products and instruments produced worldwide are made for export," said Joachim Schäfer, managing director of Messe Düsseldorf.
In addition, more than 600 companies will exhibit at Compamed 2011, held Nov. 16-18. Compamed, which is co-located with Medica focuses on medical technology manufacturing services also very high. Both programs occupy all 19 halls of the Düsseldorf fairgrounds. This unique combination will reflect the entire process chain and the full range of medical products, devices and instruments, organizers said.
Key exhibit categories at MEDICA 2011 will include electro-medicine/medical technology, laboratory technology/diagnostics, physiotherapy/orthopedic technology, medical products (devices and consumables) as well as information and communication technology, medical furniture and furnishings.
A new event in the ancillary program this year will be the Medica Wound Care Forum in Hall 6, organized in cooperation with the German Institute for Wound Healing. On each day of the trade fair, this forum will provide information about current trends and new approaches for chronic wound treatment.
The Medical Tech Forum, which was launched last year, will continue in Hall 11. This forum will focus on innovations in medical technology and initial experiences with them in medical use. The topics covered by the seminars at Medica 2011 will include new products and current trends in the areas of intensive care, disaster and emergency medicine and computer assisted surgery.
Medica also will host the 34th German Hospital Conference, the largest communication platform for German hospital managers. This conference will deal with various political, medical and economic issues in hospital care, ranging from new billing systems and the optimization of patient care to various organizational topics.
Electronic tickets will be available this year and available online at reduced prices starting in August. These tickets can be printed at home and will be converted into badges at the turnstiles on show site. These tickets also allow free use of all public transportation on all days of the trade fairs within the Rhein-Ruhr (VRR) and Rhein-Sieg (VRS) transportation networks.
