med.Logistica Leipzig

med.Logistica is the only trade fair in the German-speaking world that is entirely dedicated to hospital logistics and process optimization in healthcare, offering a high level of professional expertise. The name of the event symbolically reflects its content: “med” stands for medicine and healthcare, while “Logistica” represents the entire logistics chain – from procurement to internal material and information flows, all the way to disposal. Organized by Leipziger Messe GmbH – one of Germany’s most renowned trade fair organizers – the event is held biennially at the state-of-the-art Congress Center Leipzig (CCL), located in one of Europe’s most innovation-driven cities.

Serving as a central platform for executives and professionals from hospital management, logistics, IT, procurement, and nursing, med.Logistica combines a trade exhibition and a congress under one roof. It offers space for the latest technologies, research findings, and practical solutions from everyday clinical practice. The focus is on real-world applications that make hospital operations more efficient, sustainable, and future-ready.

Key topics include digitalization, artificial intelligence (AI), automation, robotics, smart logistics solutions, and the responsible use of resources. Innovations such as smart supply cabinets, autonomous transport systems, and AI-based demand forecasting are in particularly high demand, as they not only optimize processes but also relieve staff workload – a crucial factor in light of the growing shortage of skilled healthcare professionals. Environmental considerations also play an increasingly important role, with the fair highlighting sustainable concepts for hospital transport, disposal, and supply chains.

The range of products and services presented at med.Logistica is both broad and unique. Exhibits include software solutions for warehouse and patient logistics, systems for sterile goods supply, laundry logistics, and bed management, as well as logistical concepts for hospital construction planning. This offering is complemented by the participation of purchasing organizations, professional associations, universities, and research institutions, fostering an interdisciplinary exchange between science and practice.

A particular highlight is the accompanying program of excursions to Leipzig-based hospitals such as Leipzig University Hospital and St. Georg Hospital. Formats such as the Logistics Roundtable and the evening get-together create opportunities for both professional and personal dialogue. The BASIC LINE series provides essential foundational knowledge and is especially valuable for newcomers and career changers entering the field of hospital logistics.

Exhibitors come from sectors including IT, logistics, medical technology, construction planning, waste management, and consulting. med.Logistica is explicitly aimed at a highly qualified professional audience seeking practical, implementable solutions – from hospital directors and logistics managers to digitalization specialists in the healthcare sector.

The venue, the Congress Center Leipzig, impresses with its excellent infrastructure, modern architecture, and direct connections to highways, the airport, and public transportation. As a historically significant trade and exhibition city, Leipzig is not only easily accessible but also stands out with its vibrant academic and clinical landscape, cultural richness, and high quality of life. med.Logistica is a must-attend event for anyone who wants to help shape the future of hospital logistics.

On the whole the organisers welcomed on the 2 days of the fair, from 05. June to 06. June 2019, about 87 exhibitors from 7 countries and 930 visitors on the med.Logistica in Leipzig.

The med.Logistica will take place on 2 days from Tuesday, 06. May to Wednesday, 07. May 2025 in Leipzig.
