The companies will showcase their latest developments in the cutting edge products designed to provide state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment for medical conditions.

Accompanying the delegation of local representatives is Stormont Assembly Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Investment, Sir Reg Empey.
