Annual Azerbaijan International Healthcare Exhibition to take place in Baku

BIHE, the annual Azerbaijan International Healthcare Exhibition, will take place in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, on 22-24 September 2010.  The show is organised by ITE Group Plc (UK) and its partner in the Caucasus, Iteca Caspian.  The exhibition is supported by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Dental Association of Azerbaijan, and National Confederation of Entrepreneurs’ (Employers’) Organisations of the Republic of Azerbaijan.  For four years, BIHE has held “UFI Approved Event” status, which is awarded by the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI). This testifies to the professional level of organisation at the event, and also confirms the reliability of the exhibition's statistics. Since its launch 16 years ago, BIHE has rightly come to be considered the main medical exhibition in the region, where profitable contracts are signed and long-term partnerships established. The partners of the autumn exhibitions in 2010 are Azerfon-Vodafone, Pasha Sigorta, Caspel, SIAR, Greenwich Travel and Ñaucas Point Hotel.

At the exhibitions organised by Iteca Caspian in Azerbaijan, a new project will operate – Innovation Zone, which will allow participating companies to demonstrate new and original products/technologies/services at the exhibitions.  The first exhibition to feature the Innovation Zone will be BIHE.  This year, new products account for 35% of the total exhibition, with new technologies in many different areas of medicine - from diagnosis to sanitation.  All the companies presenting new products and technologies at the exhibition will be marked with a special sign, both on the stand and on the exhibition plan. A detailed description of the characteristics of all the products/technologies/services presented, with the contact details of the companies, can be found in the Innovation Zone catalogue, which will be distributed at Baku Expo Center during the exhibition.  

BIHE is, therefore, an important event for those who care about their health and want to protect it.  The exhibition and the innovations presented within it will help promote in the national market innovative products, services and technologies in the field of medicine, which will eventually lead to better quality health services in the country.
