This year, there is another big event on the calendar for health personnel, hospital administrators and dealers of medical equipment all around Bangladesh. BIMEX, the Bangladesh International Medical Exhibition, will be back in Dhaka in November 2026, furthering its reputation as one of the nation’s foremost events for the medical equipment and healthcare technology industry.
What BIMEX 2026 Will Offer
BIMEX works to develop Bangladesh’s healthcare & medical technology sector, bringing together local and international manufacturers, exporters and service providers. Previous versions of the exhibition have included medical equipment, laboratory technology, physical therapy equipment, and medical disposables, offering visitors a comprehensive view of the tools and systems used in hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic centres. The exhibition usually takes place at the same venue as the Bangladesh Electric Vehicle and Mobility Exhibition, or BEVMX, allowing visitors to see two fast-growing industries in one visit.
When and Where
The exhibition is taking place at the International Convention City Bashundhara, or ICCB, one of the largest event spaces in Dhaka, located along the Purbachal Express Highway. BIMEX has previously been held as a three-day event, with visiting hours every day from morning until early evening. This provides plenty of time for both business visitors and the general public to view the exhibition halls.
Who Should Be Here
BIMEX is largely B2B and B2G oriented, so the audience is heavily skewed towards industry professionals, not the general visitor. Core visitors include hospital directors, procurement officers, doctors, owners of diagnostic labs, distributors and importers, as well as officials from the government and healthcare associations. The exhibition also includes seminars and panel discussions, providing professionals with an opportunity to hear from industry leaders in Bangladesh and abroad, rather than just walking through exhibitor booths.
Advice for First-Time Visitors
Those attending for the first time will generally find it easier to navigate the large hall layout of ICCB if they arrive early in the day, especially since the venue is home to vendors from a wide variety of medical subsectors spread across several zones. If you are a visitor with a procurement focus, you should bring business cards and be ready for direct conversations with exhibitors, as the value of the event comes mainly from face-to-face networking rather than passive browsing. Also, it is worth verifying whether registration is required in advance, closer to the event date, as B2B trade exhibitions in Dhaka often give importance to pre registered industry visitors.
The significance of Bangladesh’s healthcare industry
As the healthcare infrastructure of Bangladesh grows, exhibitions such as BIMEX are increasingly being used as a platform for local providers to connect with international manufacturers and technology suppliers. The event is a condensed opportunity for professionals in hospital administration, diagnostics or medical equipment distribution to compare suppliers, check out new technology, and build partnerships that might take months to arrange on an individual basis.
If you are a healthcare professional looking for the latest equipment or simply interested in the future of Bangladesh’s medical technology industry, BIMEX 2026 provides a dedicated insight into an industry that still grows alongside the country’s expanding hospital and diagnostic infrastructure.
Summary: The Bangladesh International Medical Exhibition 2026, known as BIMEX, returns to the International Convention City Bashundhara in Dhaka this November, bringing together medical equipment manufacturers, exporters, and healthcare service providers for a multi-day showcase of the country’s growing medical technology sector.
