Reasons to attend the COMPAMED 2024 medtech fair

COMPAMED is the world's leading platform for cutting-edge medical technology. Together with exciting newcomers, the most important companies in the industry demonstrate products and concepts that will have a lasting impact in the coming months. The focus is on innovative materials as well as pioneering components and new services.

In recent years, the medtech trade fair has developed into a global hotspot for complex high-tech solutions in microtechnology and nanotechnology: in 2023, we welcomed 735 exhibiting companies on more than 13,000 m² of stand space.

This means COMPAMED is continuing on its course for success. Rising visitor numbers consolidate its position as a leading international event for suppliers to the medical industry. Trade visitors to COMPAMED and MEDICA, which takes place at the same time, and MEDICA exhibitors in particular are looking for solutions and cooperation.

The goal is clear: to ensure that you have a successful fair from the very first day, we want to further strengthen team play between suppliers and manufacturers in 2024.

We look forward to welcoming you to Düsseldorf from November 11 to 14. On this page, you can find out why a visit is worthwhile for you and what you should not miss!

At the fair, trade visitors will experience a variety of products that is unique in the world. You can expect a comprehensive range of production and manufacturing techniques, parts, services and consulting as well as digital technologies for the technology of tomorrow – today!

Are you a manufacturer looking for improved production processes and customized techniques to expand your portfolio? From contract manufacturing for machining – our exhibitors have the right offer so you can produce whatever you need:

•    Manufacturing equipment
•    Components, modules, OEM equipment
•    Electrical and electronical components
•    Manufacturing of components
•    Manufacturing of finished products

In the product area of microtechnology, our exhibitors are taking production to a new level. With high-tech processes, they are helping to make technology ever smaller. Whether it is sensors, implants, electronics or laboratory technology and microfluidics, miniaturization ensures that the use of tailor-made therapies is less burdensome for patients and that research opens up new areas.

When it comes to raw materials, materials and adhesives, you will find everything that makes medical products tangible – from a wide variety of plastics, alloys and metals to glass and ceramics. In recent years, sustainability has played an increasingly important role here, as the industry is aware of its responsibility for the climate and the environment.

No device or production process works without software and IT. The exhibitors in this product area are your partners for the development, testing and certification of all types of software used in the sector.

And if you are not sure which solution you need, or if you have a question that you cannot answer yourself, we recommend the Services product area: Here you will find advice on all aspects of product development and testing, legal framework conditions, market approval and certification, among other things.

Of course, there will also be plenty of opportunity to exchange ideas at the medtech trade fair. As a visitor, you will not only have the opportunity to find out about technical innovations and ground-breaking products from the exhibiting companies.

In our two specialist forums, we offer you the opportunity to listen to exciting presentations on research and product development, best practices and current opportunities and challenges in the international market and healthcare sector.

The COMPAMED HIGH-TECH FORUM by IVAM in Hall 8a is dedicated to key technologies such as microtechnology, nanotechnology, photonics and new materials. The program also includes production techniques and examples of applications.

Das COMPAMED SUPPLIERS FORUM by DeviceMed in Hall 8b presents current developments along the entire process chain – from innovation management and patents to regulations, approval and market development.

Visit the forums to meet top-class international researchers from colleges and universities as well as specialists (engineers, product developers and managers from production and design) from the healthcare sector on all four days of the fair.

In our online magazine, we publish current articles, interviews, videos and news about the supplier industry throughout the year. The magazine is structured in parallel to the product categories of the medtech trade fair in a total of five spheres so that you can explore all topics according to your main areas of interest.
