DUBAI, UAE: AEEDC Dubai has officially announced the Republic of Korea as the guest of honour for the 27^th edition of the annual UAE International Dental Conference and Arab Dental Exhibition (AEEDC Dubai). The event is the largest international scientific dental conference and exhibition in the world.

More than 130 South Korean companies are set to participate in AEEDC Dubai 2023. Additionally, the event will welcome participants from 155 countries, will boast eight exhibition halls and will host seven major conferences at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

“South Korea, together with the Korean Dental Industry Association (KDIA), has been a long-standing friend and partner of AEEDC Dubai for more than 15 years now. It has made valuable contributions to the event, and we look forward to welcoming it as the guest of honour for the upcoming AEEDC Dubai 2023,” stated Anas al-Madani, vice chairman and group CEO of INDEX Holding.

South Korean companies have a long history of attending AEEDC Dubai that dates back to 2008. Only nine companies attended initially, but today, that number has grown significantly to over 130 companies participating annually and covering nearly 3,000 m² of stands at AEEDC Dubai.

“With the growth of the Korean dental industry over the past 15 years, we are happy that AEEDC Dubai has also grown into the world’s largest annual dental conference and exhibition. We are very proud that the Republic of Korea has been chosen as the guest of honour at AEEDC Dubai 2023 and I think it would be an important example of the rising status of Korean dental brands in the global market. The KDIA will continue to support Korean dental brands and AEEDC Dubai to grow together,” stated Hoon Taek Lim, chairman of KDIA.

South Korean dental companies have proved to be prominent players in the field, offering implants from notable brands such as Osstem Implant, Dentium, Neobiotech, DIO Implant, MegaGen, Dentis and IBS Implant as well as dental imaging solutions from brands such as Vatech and Genoray. Dental implant production reaches a value of approximately US$2 billion a year, and dental implants rank as the most important domestic production items in South Korea. Additionally, dental implant exports account for 9.5% of South Korea’s total medical device exports, at approximately US$340 million (€318 million).

South Korea is also one of the leading countries in the world for medical device market size. Its production amounts to over US$11 billion, a figure that has nearly doubled within the last four years. The dental profession is one of the most prestigious professions in South Korea, and more than 80% of South Korean dentists can perform implant surgery.

South Korea has stunning natural beauty, clear water and serene countryside, and it is also one of the top ten economies in the world by GDP. Within the last century, it has firmly established itself as an advanced, industrial economy. Now known for its strategy of export-led growth and large business corporations, it is also a major producer and exporter of electronics, telecommunications equipment, motor vehicles and dental equipment and devices.
