IFAS 2004 clearly highlighted the new optimism which has spread throughout the medical sector.
An exhibition area of 30,000 m², 453 exhibitors from 29 countries and some 18,000 visitors over the four days of the exhibition were, and are, more than just indications of this optimism.
IFAS has positioned itself time and time again as a national hub between providers, funding agencies, business, politics, associations and the public. The fact that business and politics – according to Jean Daniel Gerber, Director of the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (seco) – agree on the need for a professional image for Switzerland as a source of medical technology is something which both pleases and motivates us, in our capacity as exhibition organiser, in equal measure. The importance of IFAS, Switzerland’s leading trade fair for medical and hospital equipment is underlined by the fact that in the longer term, Switzerland’s only chances of competing on the international stage will be in those sectors which offer a high degree of added value.
A national hub. A platform for Switzerland as a source of medical technology.The leading trade fair for a sector with a high degree of added value. Yet IFAS 2006 aims to be more than all of these things. Its intention is also to give rise to and foster the optimism in the medical sector, as mentioned above. It also aims to once again provide a comprehensive overview of the sector as well as being a key source of information for the areas of diagnostics, equipment, information technology, medical, medical technology, organisation, nursing care, rehabilitation and consumption.
