On the initiative of the Spectaris and ZVEI associations, Messe Düsseldorf organised an official joint company stand as part of the International Trade Fair Programme of the Federal Republic of Germany (AMP); this significantly facilitated participation in the trade fair for exhibitors, and offered both an optical as well as a price benefit through an attractive uniform image and favourable conditions.
Horst Giesen, Global Portfolio Director for the `World of MEDICA′ of the Messe Düsseldorf Group, gave a positive summary of the 22nd MEDICAL FAIR INDIA: "We did not expect such a volume of visitors up to the last day of the trade fair. The new products, many of them from the high-tech sector, found a very positive echo from professional visitors. Given extraordinary growth in the medical sector in one of the most populous countries in the world, we also expect a strong trade-fair business in future that can also benefit our European exhibitors. MEDICAL FAIR INDIA and the globally leading trade fair MEDICA complement each other".
