What are the options for exhibiting at MEDICA?

Shell scheme: This is our most popular exhibition stand option and each stand comes complete with carpet, electricity, name board, lighting and furniture package. We can offer a range of sizes in multiples of 3m.

Pod: The pod is our smallest exhibiting option and is one size only. It is suitable for one member of staff and those with very small products to show, or service providers. The pod comes complete with carpet, electricity, name board, lighting, 1 stool, 1 cabinet with graphic backdrop and a shared meeting area.

Space Only: With this option, you would book the raw floor space with Medilink and work with an exhibition contractor to design your own custom-built stand, for an additional cost with them. We can happily recommend our chosen stand builders for a cost-effective and easy experience. This option is available to stands 21m² and above.

Medilink UK, the largest representative body in the UK for life science companies, are the exclusive UK partners of Messe Düsseldorf for MEDICA in Germany. Since 2021, Medilink has hosted the largest, most visible group of UK companies attending MEDICA. As a direct result of this success Medilink UK are continuing to expand their presence by hosting the Official UK pavilion at MEDICA 2026. This new, larger and upgraded British pavilion provides UK companies with access to industry-leading support at the world’s largest healthcare and life sciences event.

Real feedback from real success stories.

  • “MEDICA is a huge and fast-paced show…

    … and the Medilink UK Pavilion team made the whole
    experience seamless. From a great stand build to accommodation support, communication was excellent. The on-site team were friendly, responsive and engaging and the pavilion event programme offered
    valuable networking opportunities.”
    Noah Banienuba
    Marketing Manager, Surgitrac

  • “The Medilink UK Pavilion was all very well organised…

    … and carried the UK national identity very well. During the show, we hosted visits from existing clients from 26 different countries, which is a bonus in itself.

    “Having attended MEDICA for over 30 years, I have seen many changes. Attendees might be fewer numbers, but the time wasters have gone and the lead quality has definitely improved. All in all, it’s a worthwhile exhibition – which is why we’ll be back in 2026.”
    Dave Newman
    International Sales Manager, DeSoutter Medical

  • “Scotland exhibited again at MEDICA after many years of absence…

    … with a delegation of 10 companies and several NHS officials within the Medilink Pavilion. It was a great experience and highly successful for all our participants.

    !Side events, speaking opportunities and networking with other country delegations contributed significantly to our success, and we are happy to be back again! A big “thank you” to the entire team for all your hard work!”

Our
Testimonials

Medilink has yet again provided a well organised UK Pavilion at the 2025 Rehacare event in Dusseldorf, this provided Theraplay Ltd with an ideal platform to meet international buyers from around the world seeking to purchase UK manufactured products.

Iain Macdonald TheraPlay

Our stand at the Medilink UK Pavilion has been fantastic. We’ve had a constant stream of high quality trade enquiries from seventeen nationalities from around the world. We are confident that this is going to lead to significant new business. We will be back next year!

Nick Kelly FlexyFoot

Being on the Medilink UK Pavilion has given us great exposure to companies in this sector. This enables us to maintain current business and explore new opportunities that wouldn’t have been available otherwise.

Chris Brown Heskins

Exhibiting at Medica plays a pivotal role in our business development strategy. The connections we forge and the conversations we engage in with prospective clients and partners during the event are truly invaluable.

Being part of the Medilink UK pavilion significantly enhances our visibility at the show, and the on-site support provided by the team makes the entire experience far more seamless and effective.

Jamie McIntosh Schultz Medical

It has been a momentous time for our company, gaining new marketing approvals throughout the world and continuing to build momentum in the USA. Tom and his team at Medilink are always on hand to assist us with valuable advice and support our growing international team as we continue our focus on attendance at scientific conferences throughout the world. Our presence earlier at Arab Health proved invaluable in forging new partnerships and building a global presence.

Richard J Paxman

We have been exhibiting at Medica for almost 25 years. It is the best event for us to meet up with our current customers and distributors, as well as secure new contacts and leads. We easily receive in excess of 100 enquiries, mainly from Europe but further afield too; such as the Middle East. We have been extremely pleased with the continual and invaluable support from the Medilink team, the location and the design of the UK pavilion and we rebooked straight away.

Steve Nixon

We have participated in multiple exhibitions with Medilink over the years, as they have involvement with the largest healthcare events in the world. Medilink offers us a platform to showcase our products to a wider audience, allowing us to build and maintain important relationships whilst simultaneously supplying life-saving equipment into hospitals and healthcare facilities globally.

Rachel Tobin, Precision UK Ltd

Our main objective in exhibiting at the Medical Japan event was to identify potential Japanese distributors and this was achieved after our first event. We also connected with other potential partners in Korea, Taiwan and Malaysia and it was a great opportunity to research the Japanese market.

Stewart Munro, Innovel Ltd

MEDICA is a great forum for us to meet a huge number of professionals from around the World in a short space of time. We have worked with Medilink for 15 years and their exhibition assistance is excellent.
