2. NEW MARKETS – NEW OPPORTUNITIES

Do you want to open up new markets or fields of business? Then OTWorld is the perfect platform for you. One in three visitors travels here from outside Germany. They mostly come from within Europe but also from other important global markets such as North America, the Middle East and Asia. Come and meet the global community at OTWorld!

3. INNOVATIVE CONGRESS PROGRAMME

Added value through further training! The interdisciplinary World Congress offers targeted training for the entire healthcare team - practical, up-to-date and to the point. Whether you work directly with people, in research and development, in the office or in the workshop: Here you will gain valuable knowledge and keep your finger on the pulse of the latest professional developments.

4. FUTURE FOCUS: TRENDS THAT MATTER

How will healthcare succeed in the future? In the face of global crises and a shortage of skilled labour, the industry is seeking solutions to ensure sustainable quality and efficiency. One possible answer is intelligent process management, which is a key topic at OTWorld. The programme will also cover other future trends, from AI and neuro-orthotics to robotics and new approaches in rehabilitation. As an exhibitor, you will be at the heart of the action, witnessing innovations being brought to life and providing decisive impetus.
