Upcoming Trade Shows Düsseldorf, Germany for Health

MEDICA 2024 is an important medical trade fair that adds national and international validity and relevance to the health industry in Düsseldorf, and serves as the launch pad for groundbreaking innovations within the medical industry at large. This global health trade fair has long been the predictor for trends in medical technology, digital health, and clinical practices. In 2024, the event is expected to be more significant than ever, with several new developments and thematic shifts designed to meet the rapidly changing demands of the healthcare sector. One of the most notable changes at MEDICA 2024 is the reorganization of its thematic hall spaces, particularly for the “Med Tech & Devices” and “Digital Health” worlds of experience. For the first time, the German Hospital Conference, a key event for top managers of German clinics, will be held at the heart of the trade fair in Hall 12. This relocation signifies a more integrated approach. MEDICA 2024 will feature five distinct worlds of experience, each promising a comprehensive showcase of the latest innovations in outpatient treatment and clinical use. These include Lab & Diagnostics, Med Tech & Devices, Disposables, Physio Tech, and Digital Health. Over the past two years, the MEDICA database has cataloged more than 12,000 innovations, reflecting the vast array of new products and solutions that exhibitors bring to the event. A key focus at this year’s MEDICA will be the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics in everyday medical practice. These technologies, which are rapidly becoming integral to healthcare, will be a hot topic of discussion, particularly in how they enhance patient care and operational efficiency. Additionally, the increasing connectivity within healthcare—especially at the point of care—will be explored, with a particular emphasis on telemedicine and the integration of diagnostics and treatment in outpatient settings.
