L’esordio di MEDTEC Italy 2012 non poteva andare meglio
Dopo varie incertezze causate dal terremoto che ha colpito il cuore del biomedicale, il team di MEDTEC Italy e tutti i partecipanti, sono rimasti stupefatti dell’esordio di MEDTEC Italy. Gli oltre 1.400 visitatori professionali e qualificati presenti nei due giorni di fiera hanno trovato più di 100 espositori i quali ricoprono quasi tutta la catena di produzione dei dispositivi medicali. Non soltanto la quantità ma soprattutto la qualità dei visitatori è stata ottima. Le conferenze e i technical briefing hanno riscontrato un grosso interesse e sono stati seguiti da specialisti di settore, da giornalisti, e infine da vari ascoltatori qualificati. Oltre il 40% delle aziende che hanno partecipato come espositori quest’anno, hanno confermato direttamente in fiera la loro partecipazione per il 2013 e vari potenziali espositori che hanno visitato la fiera hanno già confermato il loro interesse per la prossima manifestazione. In tre parole: un grande successo!
Pertanto, è mio assoluto dovere, ringraziare i membri del Quality Center Network, Assobiomedica, Consobiomed, l'organizzazione Fiera di Modena e BF Servizi che ci hanno seguito e supportato dall'inizio fino alla completa realizzazione di MEDTEC Italy 2012. Ma soprattutto vogliamo ringraziare i nostri espositori e tutti i visitatori, il cui merito, è stato tutto loro.
L'evento di quest'anno si terrà il 2-3 ottobre 2013 Fiere di Modena. Si prega di rivedere regolarmente il sito per gli ultimi aggiornamenti e le foto dell'evento 2012.
