AMSTERDAM, October 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
UBM announced today the continuation of its strategy to ensure
Medtec Europe is the preeminent, stand alone, European-focussed,
medical technology platform by deciding to integrate Medtec Ireland
and Medtec Europe. This is part of a long-term plan to integrate
all domestic European events into one main event covering the whole
of the European market, providing both exhibitors and visitors with
a much stronger commercial proposition. This strategic move will
provide even more networking opportunities for the medical
technology industry across Europe,
combined with a strong offering of content during the event and
across the whole year.

Medtec Ireland, one of the longest standing pure medical design
and manufacturing events, successfully brought together more than
700 attendees over two days at this year's event. However, from
2018, Medtec Europe will become the focal point for the full
spectrum of the of the medical technology industry across
Europe. This up-tiering approach
has been successfully used before with Medtec UK, Medtec France,
and Medtec Italy, resulting in an average increase in visitor
numbers from these markets at Medtec Europe of 22.5%. Furthermore,
there has been increased interest and attendance at Medtec Europe
by Irish visitors, making the focus on Medtec Europe in line with
industry trends.
Medtec Europe 2018 will bring together leading experts, buyers
and sellers from across the medical technology industry, with
companies from the UK and Ireland
receiving special visibility with a dedicated pavilion.
"This year's Medtec Ireland was a great success and a real
opportunity for attendees to upskill on the big topics that are
driving the industry, both locally and globally," said Anne Schumacher, Brand Director, Medtec. "We've
seen continued interest from Irish visitors to Medtec Europe and,
as a valued partner for our customers, it was a natural step to
consolidate our activities and meet the needs and aspiration for a
true, European event. Making Medtec Europe the prime location for
the medical technology industry will ensure that our partners in
Ireland and across Europe have opportunities to reach into bigger
networks while providing an attractive value proposition. With
increased visitors from across markets, Medtec Europe will
facilitate collaboration and commercialisation opportunities that
will drive the medical technology industry forward."

Industry, one key element of Medtec Europe 2018 will be Smart
