MEDICA 2026

MEDICA 2026 will take place at Messe Düsseldorf, Stockumer Kirchstraße 61, 40474 Düsseldorf, Germany, from 16 to 19 November 2026.

Messe Düsseldorf is easily reached by public transport via Düsseldorf’s U-Bahn and bus network; trade fair directories note direct access from the city centre and the main station to the fairground, and MEDICA’s official site provides detailed arrival and parking guidance for international visitors.

According to MEDICA’s official and partner listings, the fair hosts more than 5,000 exhibitors from over 70 countries, covering medical technology, imaging and diagnostics, laboratory equipment, health IT, physiotherapy, orthopaedics, and medical consumables.

To exhibit or visit, companies register through the official MEDICA trade fair website operated by Messe Düsseldorf, where exhibitor application forms and visitor ticket registration are handled; organizers and national clusters such as Bayern Innovativ direct participants to that portal for all formal steps.

Trade promotion sources describe MEDICA as attracting around 80,000 professional visitors from more than 70 countries, mainly hospital and clinic managers, physicians, purchasing and procurement specialists, distributors, and medtech manufacturers, confirming its status as a strictly professional B2B event.

Travel planners recommend booking accommodation in Düsseldorf or nearby cities such as Cologne well in advance because MEDICA week is one of the busiest periods for the region; the fairground is close to Düsseldorf Airport and connected by shuttle and public transit, which simplifies short-haul European and intercontinental travel.

Düsseldorf regularly hosts other major trade fairs at Messe Düsseldorf across sectors including printing (drupa), packaging (interpack), and wire and tube industries, making it an established trade-fair city with extensive exhibition infrastructure that MEDICA participants can benefit from.
