The healthcare business and the medical technology sector
are moving forward with vigour, driven by ever new
technical developments. Innovative, digital and connected
– this is how the sector persists against challenging
framework and market conditions. And keeping pace with the
industry, MEDICA and COMPAMED are also holding their own
as a combination of globally unique platforms for business
and information serving the entire added value chain of
medical-technical systems and products – including
manufacture and development. The number of registrations
for both trade fairs this year puts expectations at a
total of more than 6,000 companies from 70 countries
exhibiting in Düsseldorf from 11–14 November 2024.
“With a volume of approximately 140 billion euros, the
market for medical technology in Europe is extremely
important for many of our exhibitors. Regardless
healthcare policy debates, this is equally true for the
German market, which alone accounts for 40 billion euros”,
says Christian Grosser, Director Health & Medical
Technologies at Messe Düsseldorf, explaining why
exhibiting companies benefit. With a view to the
professional audience travelling to the events, Grosser
also regards the date in 2024 as set: “In order to be fit
for tomorrow’s healthcare, it is critical to remain
up-to-date by way of networking, knowledge transfer and
innovations at the highest level. MEDICA in Düsseldorf has
been providing excellent opportunities to do this for the
better part of half a century.”
At MEDICA 2024, there are five worlds of experience
promising a comprehensive range of innovations for the
treatment of outpatients and clinical use. For a first
glimpse, see the database of companies and products at the
MEDICA.de hub, which currently lists more than 12,700
products and services. The corresponding worlds of
experience at the professional trade fair are: Lab
Technology and Diagnostics, Medical Technology and
Electromedicine, Commodities and Consumables,
Physiotherapy and Orthopaedic Technology as well as IT
Systems and IT Solutions.
Held in parallel to MEDICA as always, COMPAMED can look
back on more than thirty years of success and has become
an absolute hotspot for complex high-tech solutions. About
750 exhibiting companies will present their specialised
knowledge as manufacturers and suppliers at COMPAMED 2024,
also in five
worlds of experience: Manufacturing & Devices (e.g.,
components, parts, manufacturing processes), Services &
Advice (e.g., research, development, services), Materials
(e.g., plastics, glass, ceramics, metals, composite
materials, adhesives, packaging), Micro Tech (such as
micro components, microfluidics) as well as IT in Tech
(software development and maintenance for medical
technology).
All trending topics of the year “live on stage”
Dominating market trends are currently causing a huge
demand for information and plenty of issues for debate.
MEDICA 2024 and COMPAMED 2024 will provide a corresponding
superb stage programme with accompanying forums and
conferences which bridge the content gap to exhibitors’
presentations and topic-driven special exhibitions, for
example the ‘Wearable Technologies Show’, the ‘Hospital of
the Future’ or the MEDICA SPORTS HUB.
This year, the hot topics at MEDICA include the most
recent examples of AI application and robots and assistive
systems in day-to-day medical practice. Another focus is
on the increasing connectivity in healthcare provision,
specifically on innovations for the point of care, which
means diagnostics and treatment in the immediate vicinity
of patients (usually outpatients). This includes
telemedical applications with the aim of providing
optimised cooperation across all sectors by all persons
involved in the treatment process.
Another top issue at this year’s MEDICA is the human
factor. The urgent lack of skilled professionals also
affects almost all companies active in healthcare, leading
them to search for solutions. These topics will be
discussed in individual forums and at conferences which
are appropriate to each target group.
Fresh ideas for the digital healthcare transformation
Some examples are the MEDICA HEALTH IT FORUM (for IT
topics like big data, artificial intelligence or
cybersecurity), the MEDICA TECH FORUM (trends and topics
from science, politics and business with relevance for the
medical technology industry) or the new MEDICA INNOVATION
FORUM. This forum will replace the former MEDICA CONNECTED
HEALTHCARE FORUM. Because digital innovations are not
limited to optimised connections between all healthcare
players, the MEDICA INNOVATION FORUM will focus on the
digital transformation of the healthcare industry in its
entirety. The popular start-up competitions remain part of
the programme and will shine a spotlight on fresh ideas
and product solutions by the young startup scene on the
forum stage.
COMPAMED, too, promises excitement, information and open
discussions. The agendas at the COMPAMED HIGH-TECH FORUM
and COMPAMED SUPPLIERS FORUM reflect the top issues of the
supply sector such as AI, robotics and automation, new
trends in microtechnology and innovations in materials.
And last but not least, there will be contributions and
discussions about the best practices of international
market cultivation. Supply chain management, questions of
product approval and patent law are some of the relevant
aspects.
Last year, MEDICA and COMPAMED recorded a total of 83,000
visiting professionals from more than 160 countries.
