Since first edition of KIMES in 1980, the show has grown in tandem with the rapidly advancing Korean medical and healthcare industry. We have tried to ensure that this show will be the very best place for everyone who is engaged in the industry to gather information on advanced medical and healthcare related items and share the latest trends and developments in the industry.

Recently, the Korean government earmarked the medical industry as the one of the leading industries that will drive the Korean economy in the future, and the government thus provided a blueprint for financial and political backing for the industry.

Moreover, globalization of the medical healthcare service industry sector is a main topic if interest in Korea nowadays, and to achieve the specialization of the industry, it should be based on the sharing of information and visions.

The current global economic downturn caused many difficulties for the entire Korean economy and the need to develop new technologies and new market are important than any other time.

Regardless of today¡¯s global shifts, it is clearly recognized that trade exhibitions are still of prime importance to the economy - and in some cases they are even more important than ever before. Especially in times of crisis, domestic and international economic partners need exhibition platforms to send positive signals to their strategic markets to launch innovative products, to discuss crisis-management measures and using this knowledge respond quickly, flexibly and correctly.

KIMES 2010 is being held to provide a timely vision for the future to our medical industry with 1,045 exhibitors from 35 countries and around 40 sessions for seminars.

When it comes to the quality of our exhibition, experience has shown that our customers¡¯ demands tend to increase dramatically, in particular during times of crisis. Marketing services that showcase the exhibitors¡¯ products and services to the greatest extent, and the presence of as many high-quality visitors as possible from appropriate target groups, are particularly important. KIMES exhibitors also expect to find the best possible service at the venues where the events are held.

For the participants, KIMES provides a unique opportunity to develop and apply global reach.
I firmly believe that KIMES is the right platform to raise to the next level the standards of Korean medical and hospital industry and we will make the KIMES 2010 as the specialized and differentiated exhibition that essential for our industry.
