The rehabilitation and assistive technology market concentrates product testing and procurement cycles in autumn. Rehacare 2026 runs from 23 to 26 September at Messe Düsseldorf and brings together manufacturers, care providers and organisations focused on inclusion.
Dates and venue
Rehacare 2026 is scheduled for 23 to 26 September at Messe Düsseldorf. The venue hosts exhibition halls, demonstration areas and themed forums aimed at rehabilitation, prevention and care solutions.
What to expect at Rehacare 2026
Exhibits cover assistive devices, mobility aids, orthopaedics and barrier-free living solutions. The event pairs product showcases with hands-on areas such as the Sport-Center where attendees can test adapted sports equipment. That setup helps vendors demonstrate real-world usability directly to professionals and end users.
Exhibitor and visitor profile
The edition reports 44,000 visitors and 404 exhibitors. Participants include manufacturers of assistive technology, orthopaedic suppliers, digital assistive systems and non-profit organisations. For B2B suppliers the fair provides space to perform live demonstrations and secure meetings with procurement decision makers.
