"Our areas of expertise include diagnostics, devices, emergency cardiac treatment and medical sensors used particularly in the latest connected health technology.
"Over the years, a number of our companies have made important contacts that have either led to direct business or to knowledge transfer agreements.
"In addition, the exhibition features a programme of conferences and expert workshops on current issues including gene therapy, sudden cardiac death, stroke therapies, the latest trends in both inpatient and outpatient care, and new developments in nutrition," she said.
"The event, furthermore, attracts visitors from emerging nations which are investing in medical related projects, as well as researchers from international universities, colleges and research institutes."
