MEDICA is the largest event for the medical industry worldwide. For more than 40 years, it has been a fixed event in the calendar of all experts. The unique position of MEDICA can be measured by many features: Firstly, the event is the world's largest medical trade fair of all - with several thousand exhibitors from more than 50 nations in the exhibition halls! In addition, every year outstanding personalities from business, research and politics honour the first-class event with their presence - naturally alongside tens of thousands of national and international experts and decision-makers from the industry like you as a trade visitor. In Düsseldorf, you can expect not only an extensive exhibition but also a sophisticated program, which together represent the complete spectrum of innovations for outpatient and clinical care.

The "MEDICA Forums and Conferences" are an integral part of the trade fair. MEDICA offers free forums, distributed throughout the exhibition halls, as well as interesting special shows and activities. These include MEDICA CONNECTED HEALTHCARE FORUM with MEDICA START-UP COMPETITION, MEDICA HEALTH IT FORUM, MEDICA ECON FORUM, MEDICA TECH FORUM and MEDICA LABMED FORUM. Conferences include the German Hospital Day (the leading communication platform for decision-makers in German hospitals), the MEDICA MEDICINE + SPORTS CONFERENCE and the International Conference on Disaster and Military Medicine (DiMiMED). Another highlight is the MEDICA START-UP PARK, where young innovative companies present the trends of the future in medical technology.
