The Exhibition and Conference Addressing the Technical Sourcing Needs of Medical Device Manufacturing Companies As the population demographic of the world has changed, so has its demand for healthcare. With an increasingly aged population, the demand for medical products (devices) has increased and shows no sign of slowing. With a high rate of reinvestment in R&D and innovation, the manufacture of medical devices continues to grow in the region of 9% annually in order to meet the demand of healthcare providers around the world. For 16 years the MEDTEC exhibition and conference series has been addressing the technical needs of medical device manufacturing companies, providing them with an annual showcase of materials and manufacturing technology and expertise. MEDTEC draws, as its visitors, key engineers and corporate and technical management engaged in the design and manufacture of all classes of medical devices, while its conference addresses technical, regulatory and quality issues surrounding and affecting medical device development. MEDTEC is organised by Canon Communications, a global company specialising in providing exhibitions, print and digital media to the medical device manufacturing community.
