ABHI set for return to China’s leading health tech show

The Association of British Healthcare Industries (ABHI) is set to return  to CMEF 2023 – the largest health tech expo in China – with seven of the UK’s innovative health technology companies.

Back in person, and with travel restrictions lifted, the ABHI UK Pavilion will provide a platform for UK companies to showcase their health innovations to China’s healthcare sector.

Located in hall 6.2, the dedicated space will provide unparalleled visibility for seven UK companies, highlighting how UK innovation is transforming the lives of patients and clinicians across the globe.

With the show projected to grow significantly, so is the UK group, and next year, ABHI is on course to double its exhibitor footprint.

With the group of UK health tech innovators waving the flag for British innovation at this year’s show, their visit is a prime opportunity to forge stronger relationships within the Asia-Pacific region.

Michelle Michelucci, Head of International Events at ABHI, said:

“The UK is home to a vibrant health tech sector which has experienced rapid growth in recent years.

“As the world’s most populated country, there are significant opportunities for UK companies to meet China’s increasing needs, particularly in the context of a post-COVID landscape, which has led to strong demand for proven health tech.

“As usual, we have an incredible line up of UK innovators joining us for this year’s show, and we are looking forward to supporting them in showcasing their technologies and exploring new opportunities for collaboration in the Asia-Pacific region.”

ConfirmedUK exhibitors for 2023 include:

• Creo Medical
• Flen Health
• Flexicare (Group) Ltd
• Industrial Design Consultancy (IDC)
• Intersurgical
• OMC Medical
• QINGDAO WICK TRADE CO

Held at the National Convention and Exhibition Centre (NECC) Shanghai, the China International Medical Equipment Fair (CMEF) is the leading healthcare trade show in China.

It is now the largest medical equipment exhibition in the Asia Pacific region, attracting more than 111,000 visitors, 4,000 exhibitors from over 28 countries each year.

Each year, the show brings together international medical equipment brands to connect with globally licensed medical equipment distributors, resellers, manufacturers, doctors, regulators and government agencies.

The ABHI’s participation in CMEF is part of its ongoing efforts to promote the UK health tech technology companies to help them expand into international markets, providing support and resources to help companies succeed overseas.

CMEF 2023 is taking place from May  14-17 in Shanghai, China, with the ABHI UK Pavilion will be located in Hall 6.2.
