IDS

IDS Cologne is the leading trade fair for the dental industry. It takes place once every two years and sets the pace for all related sectors. The upcoming International Dental Show 2021 is scheduled for 9 - 13 March. During the 37th edition of IDS, Messe Cologne received an impressive number of attendees - 2236 exhibiting companies from 58 countries and 155,132 professional visitors from 156 countries. This is an unprecedented success for the event. All indications show that it will be repeated by the 39th IDS.

The trade show assembles dentists, dental technicians and laboratories, trade dealers, associations, institutes, experts and graduates. IDS - International Dental Show attracts German and international manufacturers of products related to dental and laboratory practice, infection control and maintenance. They supply everything from furnishing and equipment, through instruments, tools and materials to disinfection devices and protective clothing. Companies specialising in dental aesthetics are also present.

The high percentage of international companies and decision makers frequenting the trade show is a guarantee that the 5 days spent at IDS 2021 result in new deals and partnerships. Numerous business meetings are organised via the Matchmaking365 service. Other crucial aspects of the International Dental Show involve market overview and information exchange. The previous edition delved into the impact of digitalisation in the dental sector, innovations in traditional dentistry, 3D printing and integration of systems.
