Medisiams and World Medtech Forum Lucerne Join Forces

Medisiams, the supplier trade fair from West Switzerland, is going to be integrated into the World Medtech Forum Lucerne held from 25 to 27 September 2012 in Lucerne, Switzerland. This decision was made by the Medical Cluster, Medtech Switzerland, Siams SA and Messe Luzern AG to establish Switzerland as a vital hub for the research, development and production of medtech products. “It is extremely challenging to bring the Swiss medtech industry and, especially, its suppliers to international attention. The resources in the SME-dominated supplier industry are limited,” says Francis Koller, President of Siams SA. By joining the only two Swiss trade fairs that focus solely on medtech, resources can be channeled to create a powerful platform where the entire Swiss supplier industry can present itself to international manufacturers.

The four partners Medical Cluster, Medtech Switzerland, Siams SA and Messe Luzern AG want to establish the World Medtech Forum Lucerne (WMTF) as an essential gathering of the global medical technology industry. “With the trade fair, congress and meetings concept, we are creating formats that will appeal to visitors from home and abroad and establish the WMTF as an indispensable platform for the industry,” says Peter Biedermann, CEO of Medical Cluster and member of the project development team.

The WMTF concept also supports the objectives of Medtech Switzerland as an export platform. According to the CEO of Medtech Switzerland Patrick Dümmler, Swiss medical technology enjoys a first-rate reputation across the globe. The three-day forum offers Medtech Switzerland an excellent opportunity to invite foreign delegations to Switzerland and connect them with potential customers from all over Switzerland.
