Düsseldorf, Germany

The time is right to prepare for MEDICA 2009 to be held on November 18-21, 2009 in Düsseldorf, Germany.  No other event compares to MEDICA, the world's largest and most prestigious medical technology and equipment show.  With 4,370 exhibitors and over 137,000 trade only visitors from 100 countries in 2008, MEDICA opens markets across the globe (see www.medica.de).

The thematic focuses at MEDICA are:  electro medicine/medical device technology, laboratory equipment/diagnostics, physiotherapy/orthopedic technology, medical products (commodities and consumer goods), information and communication technology, textiles, medical furnishings, interior design, and building management technology.

Held in parallel to MEDICA 2009 is COMPAMED, the leading international Trade Fair for Components, Parts and Raw Materials for Medical Manufacturing (18 to 20 November). In Halls 8a and 8b some 500 exhibitors will be showcasing a comprehensive range of high-tech solutions for use in the medical device technology industry, for instance micro system technology, nano technologies, new materials as well as packaging and services. 

The United States is renowned for innovative, state-of-the-art medical equipment and technology, offered at attractive prices.  The vast majority of the U.S. company executives, which you will meet at MEDICA, are seeking mutually beneficial business relations with medical equipment distributors, agents, and buyers from around the world. You can view the U.S. exhibitors and their product announcements at http://www.buyusa.gov/ifp/medica09.html.  As the guest of the U.S. Commercial Service at MEDICA 2009, we will make sure you have quick access to those American companies of special interest to your firm.  Just contact Merja Poikolainen at helsinki.office.box@N0SPAM.mail.doc.gov .
