INTERNATIONAL KIMES 2019 The 35th Korea International Medical & Hospital Equipment Show took place at COEX in Seoul, South Korea from 14th- 17th March 2019. As one of Asia’s biggest health care events, it attracted over 73,000 visitors to multiple halls of exhibitions, discussions and networking opportunities. Emma Johnson, Medilink international Adviser and Life Sciences International Trade Adviser at the Department for international Trade, led a trade mission and exhibition of 10 UK businesses at KIMES 2019, assisting them in their exhibition and supporting the life science companies who are keen to grow their exports in South Korea and Far East Asia. Welcoming professionals from Mongolia, Turkey, France, Iran, USA and more, the event was heavily attended by local delegates keen to see how products and services from across the world could fulfil the needs and demands of Korean consumers. Emma Johnson says: “The show was a great success for the businesses that attended. With plenty of foot traffic and lots of interest from delegates around the world, it was superb to see UK businesses taking advantage of the fast-growing market of South Korea.” The variety of exhibitors ranged from companies promoting surgical products, and the advancements the future has to offer, to more holistic approaches that focused on health and well-being as well as patient care. This was Medilink’s first year delivering a UK pavilion with support from the Department for International Trade. The commercial links and secured business achieved by British companies during the week means that this is activity Medilink plan to repeat in 2020.
