FRANCE

A country of importance and ever expanding presence at MEDICA and COMPAMED

Although French manufacturers had exhibited at Medica for many years, in the first year of the millennia, only 40-50 companies exhibited.

Today, 144 French exhibitors are on stands in five different halls, as well as in COMPAMED. The French presence covers 1,890 m2 of space. There is also a waiting list for companies wanting to exhibit in 2009, according to UBIFRANCE, which has arranged the participation of its countries’ companies since 2005.
Prior to this year’s MEDICA, we spoke with just a few exhibitors about their wares and highlight their products in our EUROPEAN HOSPITAL 2008@MEDICA issue.
We hope to present many more to our readers in 2009.
