Following FIME's hiatus last year due to the pandemic, global event organizer, Informa Markets, took a new approach to create an exciting program for the 2021 show.

FIME offers free in-person visitor access to the widest range of new and refurbished medical devices and equipment and hospital technology, as well as opportunities for more interaction, engagement and networking between attendees and participants with the addition of the online component.
The safety of the show's participants and colleagues is of paramount importance, and as such, the event is being organized in accordance with the industry wide All Secure Standard to ensure safety, hygiene, cleanliness and operational effectiveness for all participants. The MBCC has achieved Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC)STAR Facility Accreditation, the gold standard for facilities and venues worldwide.

At the show, all participants will be required to follow the measures enforced by Informa and the MBCC, including the use of face masks at all times throughout the venue, maintaining social distancing in line with government guidance, and submitting to a temperature check upon arrival.
