Key Focus on Knowledge-Based Companies and Foreign Delegations at Iran Health Exhibition

May 31, 2025 – The Iran Health Exhibition, scheduled for June 8 to 11, will spotlight the participation of 84 knowledge-based companies, primarily categorized as Grade Three entities. According to Saghi Bagheri-Nia, Secretary of the Iranian Syndicate of Medical Equipment Exporter, Hall 38B has been exclusively allocated to these companies to showcase their latest achievements and innovations. This initiative aims to enhance their domestic and export market share by highlighting their capacities.
Bagheri-Nia emphasized that Iran Health has historically served as a platform to connect domestic manufacturers with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This year, the event has expanded its scope by inviting international delegations and business representatives, fostering opportunities for direct engagement, technology transfer, and specialized negotiations.
Efforts to optimize exhibition costs for participants have been a priority, despite no direct discounts being offered. Strategic management has ensured stable expenses and a well-designed Hall 38B, allowing companies to focus on product promotion and business networking.
The presence of foreign delegations will facilitate discussions on technology transfer, barter trade, and export strategies. Bagheri-Nia highlighted that such interactions not only boost exports but also provide avenues for gaining international expertise, enhancing competitiveness among domestic companies.
Iran Health has witnessed a remarkable transformation over the years. While the domestic medical equipment industry initially catered to a limited share of national demand, today, over 70% of the market is supplied by local manufacturers, despite challenges such as economic fluctuations and international constraints.
However, space limitations have hindered participation, with 170 companies unable to secure exhibition slots due to scheduling overlaps with other events. This demonstrates the growing significance of the exhibition at both national and sectoral levels, urging organizers to consider expansion in future editions.
Active engagement from universities, hospitals, and healthcare managers is expected to support manufacturers while providing a platform for addressing sector demands and signing operational agreements. Last year’s event proved instrumental in accelerating the commercialization of domestic technologies through dialogues with industry experts.
Despite challenges posed by international sanctions restricting the presence of renowned global brands, the exhibition continues to prioritize B2B collaborations. Expanded workshops and specialized delegations aim to strengthen commercial and technological partnerships.
Bagheri-Nia concluded by expressing optimism that the Iran Health Exhibition 2025 will pave the way for increased exports, enhanced domestic production, and fruitful collaborations between knowledge-based companies, foreign delegations, and key health organizations.
