Messe Düsseldorf (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., the organizer of REHACARE CHINA, enters into a strategic partnership with the National Development and Supply Center of Assistive Products. The collaboration will focus on a cooperation surrounding both REHACARE CHINA and REHACARE Düsseldorf in 2026, encompassing exhibitor recruitment and service enhancement.
This partnership represents not only a union between an international exhibition organizer and a leading domestic industry service provider but also a strategic synergy that deeply integrates world-class exhibition resources with the Chinese market.
Deepening Local Roots: REHACARE CHINA Undergoes Comprehensive Upgrade
Scheduled for August 20-22, 2026, at the Suzhou International Expo Centre, REHACARE CHINA is set for a substantial upgrade, particularly within its assistive products sector, thanks to this deepened collaboration. The exhibition will see an expansion in product categories and market channels, gathering more technology-enabled assistive products and opening new pathways to market.
Building upon its four classic sectors, Intelligent Rehabilitation, Sports Rehabilitation, International Innovation and Hearing Aids—this year’s edition will introduce three new exhibition zones: Preventive Care, Elder Care and Tech Enabled: Smart Living. This creates a comprehensive chain spanning from prevention to rehabilitation and from medical care to assisted living. Notably, two hot categories, TCM Therapy and Brain-Computer Interface, will make their debut, offering diverse dimensions for presenting rehabilitation products by showcasing both tradition and cutting-edge innovation.
To date, the exhibition has confirmed participation from leading domestic and international companies, including Intco, Biwitek, Pukang, Aikang, Hubang, Yuehua, Kaiyang, Kangni, Weiyu, Xiaoshentong, Dahao, Dongfang Yiliao, Taikang Yangguang, Zuowei, Chengtiantian, and KangHui, showcasing their advanced products for the future of rehabilitation.
Channel Expansion: Connecting Products Directly with End Users
Through this partnership, National Development and Supply Center of Assistive Products will leverage its core strengths in market penetration and resource integration to participate fully in exhibitor recruitment for the Suzhou event. Through this collaboration, the exhibition will focus on high-demand sectors such as ” Tech Enabled: Smart Living,” “Intelligent Rehabilitation,” and ” Elder Care,” attracting more quality products and solutions tailored to the actual needs of the Chinese market, thus achieving the goal of “Technology Empowers, Integration Innovates.”
Participating companies will gain access to a vast network of grassroots disability organizations, social groups, assistive device rental agencies, and government procurement departments nationwide—the core buyers and end-users for technology-enabled disability products. This efficient matchmaking mechanism offers exhibitors not only high-value exposure but also a clear pathway from product display to commercial realization.
