UK HealthTech companies have just a few weeks left to secure their place at the China International Medical Equipment Fair (CMEF) 2025. The deadline to apply is 22 January 2025 – making this the final opportunity to exhibit at one of the world’s most influential healthcare trade shows.
CMEF 2025, taking place from 8–11 April in Shanghai, will attract over 150,000 visitors and exhibitors, offering unparalleled access to China’s rapidly growing healthcare market. With the country’s demand for mid-to-high-end HealthTech solutions at an all-time high – driven by an ageing population and ongoing technological advancements – this is a unique chance for UK companies to tap into a market brimming with potential.
ABHI is proud to host the UK Pavilion at CMEF 2025, which this year has been expanded to provide even greater visibility for UK businesses. The pavilion offers a dynamic platform for companies to connect with key stakeholders in the Chinese healthcare sector, including distributors, clinicians, government agencies, and resellers.
To enhance the experience further, ABHI has collaborated closely with the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) to ensure exhibitors maximise their opportunities at the event.
New for 2025, attendees will also benefit from:
- Conference opportunities to present innovations and gain insights into the Chinese market.
- A match-making service to facilitate targeted connections with key stakeholders.
- A post-event networking reception to strengthen relationships formed during the exhibition.
Lauren Hayes, International Business Manager at ABHI, commented:
“CMEF is the perfect platform for businesses looking to grow in this region, providing direct access to key stakeholders and invaluable insights into the local market. We are excited to offer an even bigger UK Pavilion this year, giving our companies enhanced visibility and expert support as they navigate the complexities of the Chinese market.”
The ABHI – CMEF Exhibition Package includes:
- A high-quality stand package (including power, light, and furniture), plus stand cleaning.
- A UK-branded pavilion to enhance your company’s profile.
- Opportunities to showcase innovations and explore trade and investment collaborations with Chinese counterparts.
- Assistance with travel and shipping arrangements.
- In-show events designed to add value to your attendance.
Iain Hendrick, Chief Project Officer, Neurovalens, shared: “Attending CMEF on the UK Healthcare Pavilion with ABHI provided Neurovalens with the opportunity to meet many visitors, exhibitors, and existing suppliers face-to-face and gain tangible feedback and opportunities for our business. Showcasing our products created meaningful relationships directly with the community in China, which will accelerate our market access and our knowledge of the market considerably, at a cost-effective rate.”
To help UK companies prepare for the event, ABHI recently hosted a webinar on the opportunities within China’s HealthTech market. The session covered essential topics such as navigating regulatory requirements, managing intellectual property, and exploring potential partnerships with Chinese businesses. If you missed it, the full session is available to access here.
UK HealthTech companies looking to break into China’s dynamic market are encouraged to act quickly and secure their place in the UK Pavilion at CMEF 2025.
