Israeli creative thinking comes to the world's largest equipment and medical equipment exhibition -
Medica . In the exhibition, the Export Institute, in cooperation with the Foreign
Trade Manager of the Ministry of Economy,  establish the largest Israeli pavilion to date,
65 companies from  different  sectors, during the world's largest equipment and medical equipment exhibition.

The great interest shown by hundreds of visitors from all over the world in the Israeli pavilion is very impressive.
This time 65 Israeli companies  introduce  at  the exhibition various fields, most of them
already known worldwide, apart from the representation of emergency and trauma technologies.

According to the  “Israel medical innovation”  by the end of the 1990s, Israel was home to more than
200 life science companies. With steady growth over the last decade (some 40 new companies formed each year),
Israel has introduced creativity and innovation into the field; today there are over 1300 active life science companies.

In a relatively short period of time, an impressive 40 percent of these companies are already
generating revenues. Israel’s entrepreneurial ecosystem creates opportunities for start-ups to
become advanced, commercially viable and
promising businesses. As proof of the industry’s development, 2014 life science exports reached $8.5 billion,
growing steadily since 2008; while a rich pipeline of seed companies promises to perpetuate current growth.
The Israeli booth in the exhibition presents more than 60 companies focusing on the treatment of chronic diseases,
digital medicine, healthy aging and rehabilitation equipment, in fact the largest medical equipment and
medical equipment exhibition in the world.

The Largest Sector is Medical Devices and HealthCare IT Technologies (more than 65 percent
of companies). In the medical device arena, Israeli scientists and engineers have integrated
advanced technologies in electronics, communications and electro-optics to develop
world-class innovations in Digital Imaging, Medical Lasers,
Telemedicine, Early Diagnostic and Smart Surgical equipment and more. More than 500 medical device
exporters engaged in a variety of medical applications such as Cardiovascular and Peripheral Vascular,
Neurology and Degenerative Diseases, Emergency Medicine,
Intensive Care and Rehabilitation, Respiratory and Airway Management, Oncology, Women’s Health,
Orthopedics and Sport Medicine, Gastrointestinal, Infection Control, Ophthalmology, Pain and Wound
Management, Oral and Dental, Dermatology and Aesthetics.

There is no other country in the world with such a concentration of life science companies. Companies
rooted in top international academic and research institutions; staffed by highly educated and skilled teams;
operating within an entrepreneurial and audacious climate, to offer a variety of innovative medical solutions
and technologies that answer today’s healthcare challenges:

stents. Each Allium stent is designed specifically to match the site to be treated and the surrounding anatomy.
This proprietary technological platform allows Allium to produce thin walled, entirely covered stents with
a large lumen, but with the critical advantage of removability.

We find also Biop Medical is an Israeli medical device startup, which has developed an innovative technology
for the identification of cancerous cells in epithelium tissues. The technology is a platform technology, which will
be implemented in a number of devices for cancer screening and diagnosis, beginning with cervical cancer.
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women worldwide.
Biop’s real-time screening tool offers standard colposcope capabilities with state-of-the-art, enhanced features.
The novel device combines advanced, high-resolution optics with integrated micro and macro cameras and other
optical elements to produce highly sensitive optical signatures for automatic identification of suspicious areas
and quantification of the cancer stage. The collected data is combined and analyzed using Biop’s
proprietary algorithm. Preliminary commercialization of Biop’s proprietary transducer will
replace current colposcopy and other
existing cervical screening technologies.
