B2B Meetings at Iran Health 2025: A Turning Point for Global Health Collaboration

Tehran, Iran - Hall 35 of the Iran Health Exhibition 2025 emerged as the heart of international dialogue, hosting B2B meetings that forged significant partnerships in the health sector across Asia, Europe, and Africa.

On June 10, 2025, as the 26th Iran Health Exhibition concluded at the Tehran International Exhibition Center, Hall 35 stood out as a dynamic hub for international engagement. Far beyond a mere physical space, it became a focal point for exchanging ideas, experiences, and initiating long-term collaborations in the health sector, resonating with conversations in multiple languages, expressions of astonishment from foreign guests, and mutual satisfaction among Iranian hosts.

Representatives from companies across Asia, Europe, and Africa engaged directly with their Iranian counterparts in Hall 35, not just for casual discussions but to chart shared roadmaps for the future of regional health. A recurring theme in these B2B meetings was the genuine surprise and admiration from international delegates at Iran’s industrial and technological capabilities in health—from advanced hospital equipment and digital health systems to recombinant drugs and AI-driven healthcare services. A representative from a major Indian company remarked, “Our prior perception of Iran’s capabilities was unclear and limited. Now, we see Iran as a genuine business partner and are eager to transfer some of these technologies to India.”

Delegations from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Iraq, Oman, and several African countries expressed specific interest in importing Iranian medical products, often citing high quality, competitive pricing, and reliable technical support as key factors. Beyond commerce, the meetings exuded a spirit of Iranian hospitality and readiness for constructive cooperation, contrasting with the often formal and rigid nature of global business forums. Foreign representatives appreciated that Iranian companies positioned themselves not merely as sellers but as strategic partners for long-term collaboration, with some suggesting a dedicated section for joint Iran-friendship country products at next year’s event.

These interactions underscored Iran’s emerging role as a significant player in the global health value chain, especially as many nations seek to diversify their health supply networks. A European logistics company representative noted, “We are looking for regional hubs that excel in location and product quality. Iran could become one such hub if this collaborative environment is sustained and deepened.” Tangible outcomes included the exchange of business cards, drafting preliminary MoUs, product sample showcases, plans for reciprocal factory visits, and negotiations for dealerships or technology transfers. Some companies even finalized export contracts for healthcare service packages or pharmaceutical products during the event.

The B2B meetings at Iran Health 2025 transcended a typical trade event, serving as a replicable model for other sectors where science, technology, economy, and diplomacy converge. A UAE health tech company representative optimistically stated, “What I saw in Tehran today wasn’t just an exhibition; it was a form of trust-building rarely seen in the region.” Hall 35 became the pulsating center of hope, collaboration, and a brighter future for regional health, positioning Iran not as a bystander but as an influential actor and reliable partner in the global health market. The exhibition concluded on June 10, 2025.
