DUBAI, UAE: Germany will be the guest of honour at the 28^th UAE International Dental Conference and Arab Dental Exhibition (AEEDC Dubai), which will take place from 6 to 8 February at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The collaboration between the Association of the German Dental Industry (VDDI) and INDEX Conferences and Exhibitions—the organisers of AEEDC Dubai—was announced at the International Dental Show in Cologne in Germany in March.

“I am very honoured about this initiative, which will give the manufacturers of the German dental industry the opportunity to tighten their contacts and business activities in this important regional target market and to be able to further expand them in many places. The VDDI has always been happy to support the AEEDC in Dubai for decades. This is a new milestone in our friendly cooperation,” stated Mark Stephen Pace, chairman of the board of the VDDI.

Anas al-Madani, vice chairman and group CEO of INDEX Holding, stated: “Germany has had a long-standing position within AEEDC Dubai as major contributors to innovative technology and enhanced treatment methods. We appreciate the valuable contributions they have made over the years, and we are delighted to have them as our guest of honour of AEEDC Dubai 2024.”

Previous editions of AEEDC Dubai have been attended by approximately 66,000 people from 155 countries. Last year’s event showcased more than 4,800 brands from over 3,600 companies, and the 2024 meeting is set to expand by nearly 30%.

AEEDC Dubai connects dental companies, oral care companies, manufacturers and distributors from around the world, enabling them to reach new business markets and boost their networks. Having Germany’s dental industry as the guest of honour will further support German manufacturers in increasing their market share and introducing new products to the world. The position of guest of honour will place a major spotlight on German brands and products at AEEDC Dubai and highlight them throughout the exhibition.

Germany’s dental industry is known for its high-quality products, and its turnover has increased by more than 28% to over €6.2 billion. Export markets contributed the significant amount of €4.1 billion to this achievement, and this figure is expected to increase steadily over the next year.
