France highlights AI, medical imaging and digital health at WHX Dubai 2026

France will present a delegation of 98 healthcare and health technology companies at the 50th edition of World Health Expo Dubai (formerly Arab Health), taking place from 9 to 12 February at the Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City Dubai. Exhibiting under the French Healthcare banner, the delegation will be located across several exhibition zones, including Medical Devices (Hall S5), Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation (Hall N37), and Radiology and Medical Imaging (Hall N21).

The French pavilions will showcase a broad range of technology-led healthcare solutions, with a strong focus on digital health, artificial intelligence, connected medical devices, and data-driven clinical systems. Exhibited technologies span AI-assisted diagnostics, advanced medical imaging platforms, smart hospital infrastructure, pharmaceuticals, and e-health solutions designed to support early detection, minimally invasive treatment, and integrated care delivery.

The participation comes as healthcare providers and regulators across the Gulf accelerate investment in digitalisation, automation, and data-enabled care models. Dubai’s healthcare market continues to expand, supported by growing adoption of AI-enabled clinical tools, interoperable health systems, and automated compliance platforms, creating demand for scalable medical technologies and software-driven solutions.

France remains a significant supplier of healthcare products to the UAE, ranking as the fourth-largest exporter of pharmaceuticals in 2024, with exports valued at USD 298.5 million. Alongside pharmaceuticals, French companies are increasingly active in medical devices, diagnostics, and digital health, targeting hospital modernisation, operational efficiency, and precision medicine use cases across the region.

Technologies presented at World Health Expo Dubai 2026 include AI-enabled radiology and imaging systems, digital hysteroscopy platforms, connected rehabilitation technologies, medical nutrition solutions, environmental health monitoring tools for clinical settings, and intelligent hospital logistics systems. Many of these solutions are designed to improve diagnostic accuracy, streamline clinical workflows, and optimise hospital operations through automation, connectivity, and data integration.
