Medical technology providers and their suppliers show huge interest and want to fly their flag on-site Customised live platforms are interwoven with real-life and digital events The date (in mid November) for the globally leading live platforms for the medical technology industry remains a fixed feature in everybody’s calendar this year too. The plans for MEDICA 2021 in Düsseldorf, the world’s no. 1 medical trade fair, and COMPAMED 2021, the international main event for medical technology suppliers which is held in parallel, are progressing full steam ahead (the fairs will be held from 15 - 18 November).

Christian Grosser takes over project management for medical trade fairs at Messe Düsseldorf. Christian Grosser (41) is the new Project Director for Health & Medical Technologies at Messe Düsseldorf. He follows Horst Giesen, who retired at the end of 2020, and will manage the world’s largest medical trade fair, MEDICA, and the international leading industry supplier trade fair COMPAMED. At the same time, Christian Grosser will take responsibility for the strategic alignment of Messe Düsseldorf’s global medical trade fair activities which are brought together under the MEDICAlliance umbrella brand. Among these are the MEDICAL FAIR INDIA (Mumbai/New Delhi), the MEDICAL FAIR ASIA (Singapore), the MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND (Bangkok) and the MEDICAL FAIR BRASIL (Sao Paulo).

They provided important stimuli for the healthcare economy and there is keen anticipation for the reunion in Düsseldorf in 2021 For the first time in the history of MEDICA, the world-leading medical trade fair, and the industry’s number one platform for the suppliers of the medical technology industry, COMPAMED, held from 16 to 19 November 2020, took place entirely online due to the pandemic - but still won over their audiences due to their high degree of international resonance in this format too, as virtual.MEDICA and virtual.COMPAMED.
