According to interviews conducted on-site, Medtronic, BGI, Wuxi AppTec, Healtech, Sonicmed, Suzhou Collaborative Innovation Medical Robot Institute, amongst others, presented their innovative medical device products and expressed their satisfaction with the exhibition. 

Men Hongshou, President of Medical & Industrial Association mentioned: “This year is the first time we join hands with 7-8 Japanese companies to bring mostly high-voltage and X-ray products here. The Medical & Industrial Association is dedicated to combining the best technology and best projects from Japan with China's industries. This fits well this innovative exhibition. Being overseas Chinese for over 30 years, we feel deeply that there are much more opportunities in the great development and great market of China than in Japan. We met a large number of potential partners and discussed specific issues. It was very likely to conclude the cooperations."

As well FTR4H ("Future for Health") held its premiere in China, the global network of Messe Düsseldorf for experts in the digital health scene and part of a worldwide innovation ecosystem that explores how digital transformation is driving the healthcare industry. This year, supported by BGI and Philips Healthworks, a number of startups brought their digital medical products, such as home-made gene sequencing machines, AI virtual health assistants, blockchain technical data transmission, employee health assistants and further new products to Suzhou. 

Visitor Wang Yi, Vice President National Association of Health Industry and Enterprise Management, pointed out: "It is 'Innovation' that I headed for. This time, I actually found that many companies or institutes launched some technologies 3-5 years ahead, such as robots from Suzhou Industry Park, 3D-printing technology from Flon that has been applied in the industry, test reagent at the medical test level and precision medicine gene testing. This is a highlight at the exhibition. And many guests, leaders, local and foreign experts accepted invitations to the concurrent forum, exciting indeed. The content covered from industrial park promotion to the current situations and issues of the entire medical sector in terms of technology and policy. I am highly satisfied with this exhibition and look forward to it next year.”

It’s integral program, high specialization and share of knowledge was very well received by all visitors.

As a speaker of CMIF, Youseph Yazdi, Executive Director John Hopkins Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design (CBID), was astonished at the scale of whole event. "I took part in the CMIF two years ago. But the scale this year is higher compared two years ago! China's medical market is facing the same question as the global market: how to provide high quality and affordable products to hundred million people? Medical innovation is the only solution, so my topic is "Design and Development of Medical Devices". Besides, we saw quite a few innovative technologies, creations and some highly interesting ideas here. It’s really exciting, and I'd like to suggest my colleagues to come here together. "
