The trade show profile of OTWorld
OTWorld is the sector’s largest get-together and most important meeting place for all manufacturers, dealers and service providers in the field of modern medical aids and equipment. Its unique combination of trade show and congress brings together experts and stakeholders from all five continents and, as a core forum for innovation and exchange, sets standards for customised, patient-oriented treatment.
The international trade show: The most important forum for innovation and networking
Every two years, the world's leading trade show of OTWorld attracts international manufacturers, dealers and service providers to present their products and services circling around technical orthopaedics. Hence, it is the ideal platform to present new products and innovations, expand industry networks and find future business partners. During the last face-to-face event in 2018, around 570 exhibitors welcomed more than 21,000 visitors from over 90 countries.
Additional formats in the programme ensure that the participation becomes a true experience for all visitors. They can get an overview of the sectors newcomers at the Start-Up-Zone. Guided trade-show-walks shine a light on different topics and show the highlights on the market. Furthermore, participants can acquire new knowledge in the Digital Manufacturing Forum, the Education Zone or in numerous exhibitor workshops.
The next OTWorld will take place in Leipzig from 10 to 13 May 2022 and will reinforce connecting the worldwide community using additional digital features.
