From <strong>May 8 to 10, 2026<\/strong>, the historic city of Bologna will once again become the global capital of the pharmacy sector as <strong>Cosmofarma<\/strong> opens its doors at <strong>Bologna Fiere<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Billed as the leading event for healthcare (health care), beauty care (beauty care), and all services related to the world of the pharmacy, Cosmofarma 2026 is not merely a trade show; it is a strategic ecosystem. As the industry grapples with post-pandemic digital disruption, the convergence of pharmaceutical rigor and cosmetic innovation, Cosmofarma promises to deliver certainty. For the first time in the event\u2019s storied history, the organizing body is committing to verified, audited metrics regarding visitor numbers, exhibitor counts, and occupied square meters\u2014answering the industry\u2019s demand for unvarnished truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Legacy of Excellence: The Heart of Bologna Fiere<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bologna Fiere is one of Europe\u2019s most sophisticated exhibition hubs, strategically located in the Po Valley. It is a venue synonymous with high-value vertical trade shows (from Ceramica to Cosmoprof). However, Cosmofarma holds a unique niche. While Cosmoprof (also in Bologna) focuses on the professional salon and large-scale beauty industry, Cosmofarma is hyper-focused on the <em>pharmacy channel<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><strong>\u0643\u0646 \u0639\u0627\u0631\u0636\u0627\u064b \u0648\u0642\u0645 \u0628\u0627\u0644\u0628\u064a\u0639 \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0648\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0631\u0628\u064a\u0629 \u0648\u062d\u0648\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0627\u0644\u0645.<br>\u0627\u062d\u0635\u0644 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u062a\u0635\u0627\u0644 \u0645\u0628\u0627\u0634\u0631 \u0645\u0639 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0634\u062a\u0631\u064a\u0646 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0645\u0633\u062a\u0648\u0631\u062f\u064a\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0624\u0647\u0644\u064a\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0634\u0637\u064a\u0646 \u062f\u0648\u0644\u064a\u064b\u0627 \u0627\u0646\u0642\u0631 \u0641\u0648\u0642<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ildeltagroup.com\/ar\/%d8%a82%d8%a8\/\">\u0647\u0646\u0627<\/a>\u00a0.<br>\u0633\u062c\u0650\u0651\u0644 \u0641\u064a \u0633\u0648\u0642\u0646\u0627 \u0648\u062a\u0648\u0627\u0635\u0644 \u0645\u0639 \u0623\u0643\u062b\u0631 \u0645\u0646 23,000 \u0645\u062d\u062a\u0631\u0641 \u0634\u0647\u0631\u064a\u0627\u064b.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2026 edition (running Saturday, May 8 through Monday, May 10) arrives at a critical juncture. The pharmacy is no longer just a place to dispense prescription drugs. It has evolved into the most trusted neighborhood health and beauty hub. Cosmofarma 2026 is designed to validate and accelerate this evolution, bridging the gap between the white coat (healthcare) and the lipstick (beauty).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Mandate for Transparency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The trade show industry has long suffered from what insiders call &#8220;vanity metrics.&#8221; Organizers frequently claim attendance figures that include passersby, unpaid guests, or recycled badges. Exhibitors, burned by high costs and low ROI, have become cynical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cosmofarma 2026 addresses this head-on. The management of Bologna Fiere has pledged to release <em>certified<\/em> data. This is not a marketing gimmick; it is a strategic pivot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Audited Visitor Numbers:<\/strong> Independent third-party auditors will verify every entry badge. Only unique, paying or qualified trade visitors will count. No double-counting, no \u201cestimated\u201d foot traffic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Transparent Exhibitor Counts:<\/strong> The 2026 edition will distinguish between &#8220;brands present&#8221; and &#8220;booths sold,&#8221; accounting for multi-brand distributors versus direct exhibitors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Real Square Meterage:<\/strong> The declared square meters will reflect actual <em>net<\/em> exhibition space sold, not gross venue capacity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For the pharmacist or beauty buyer deciding whether to fly to Bologna, this transparency means one thing: <em>Trust<\/em>. They know that if Cosmofarma claims 30,000 visitors, 30,000 buyers actually walked the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Four Pillars of Cosmofarma 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition is structured around four interconnected sectors, reflecting the modern pharmacy\u2019s diversified inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Healthcare (Healthcare &amp; Pharmaceutical Products)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the traditional core. Pharmacies remain the primary point of access for minor ailments, chronic care, and prevention. At Cosmofarma 2026, this sector focuses on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Parapharmaceuticals:<\/strong> Next-generation supplements, nutraceuticals, and medical devices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prescription alternatives:<\/strong> OTC (Over-the-Counter) drugs with new delivery systems (oral strips, sublingual sprays).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Telemedicine integration:<\/strong> How physical pharmacies can host digital consultation booths.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Beauty Care (Beauty)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;beauty&#8221; sector at Cosmofarma is distinct from salon beauty. It is <strong>dermocosmetics<\/strong>\u2014science-led skincare sold behind the pharmacist\u2019s counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dermatological brands:<\/strong> La Roche-Posay, Vichy, Bioderma, and niche Italian brands like Rilastil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Anti-aging innovation:<\/strong> Products that bridge cosmeceuticals and pharmaceuticals (growth factors, peptides).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clean beauty:<\/strong> Italian pharmacies are leading the shift toward hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and environmentally sustainable packaging.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Hygiene<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Post-COVID, hygiene is no longer a commodity; it is a category of prestige. Exhibitors will showcase:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Advanced hand sanitizers with skin moisturizing technology.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intimate hygiene products (pH-balanced, probiotic-infused).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Surface disinfection for professional use (medical offices within pharmacies).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Services &amp; Digital Transformation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond products, the pharmacy is a service center. This sector includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fidelity platforms:<\/strong> Software for loyalty programs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Automation:<\/strong> Robotic dispensers and inventory management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u0627\u0644\u062a\u062f\u0631\u064a\u0628:<\/strong> Courses for cosmetic advisors and &#8220;dermo-experts.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Italy? The &#8220;Farmacia&#8221; Advantage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To understand Cosmofarma, one must understand the Italian pharmacy system. Unlike the US or UK, where pharmacies are often large chains or supermarket aisles, the Italian <em>farmacia<\/em> is a highly regulated, professionally owned institution. There is one pharmacy for roughly every 3,500 citizens. They are dense, trusted, and profitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Italian pharmacists are among the best educated in Europe regarding cosmetics. They don\u2019t just sell shampoo; they diagnose scalp psoriasis and recommend a medicated solution followed by a soothing cosmetic shampoo. Cosmofarma is the global training ground for this model. As markets in Asia, South America, and the Middle East attempt to replicate the &#8220;Italian pharmacy experience,&#8221; they send delegations to Bologna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Expect on the Show Floor (May 8-10, 2026)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Layout: 8 Halls of Innovation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bologna Fiere typically dedicates halls 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25, and 26 to Cosmofarma. For 2026, the layout is optimized for traffic flow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hall 15-16:<\/strong> Big Pharma &amp; Multinational Beauty (L\u2019Or\u00e9al Dermatological, GSK, Sanofi).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hall 19-20:<\/strong> Emerging Brands &amp; Startups (The &#8220;CosmoVision&#8221; area).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hall 21-22:<\/strong> Equipment, Furniture, and Pharmacy Design.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hall 25-26:<\/strong> Services, Digital Health, and International Pavilions (Korea, France, Germany).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Features for 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. The Cosmofarma Lab (Live Demo Stage)<\/strong><br>Located in the heart of the beauty sector, this stage runs non-stop. A dermatologist will analyze skin on a big screen; a cosmetic chemist will mix custom creams; a makeup artist will demonstrate &#8220;corrective makeup&#8221; for rosacea. This is practical education, not sales pitching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. The Digital Pharmacy Arena<\/strong><br>A simulated &#8220;pharmacy of the future.&#8221; Here, attendees can test AI-powered symptom checkers, automated refill kiosks, and virtual try-on mirrors for cosmetic products. It answers the question: <em>How do I compete with Amazon?<\/em> (Answer: You offer high-touch service plus high-tech convenience).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Regulatory Forum<\/strong><br>With the EU\u2019s Green Deal and new cosmetic regulations (including bans on microplastics and PFAS), compliance is a nightmare. The Regulatory Forum features lawyers from the Italian Ministry of Health and European Commission advisors. If you sell a sunscreen or a supplement in the EU in 2026, you need this data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. The Distributor\u2019s Lounge<\/strong><br>A private, invitation-only area where international buyers (from Chinese pharmacy chains, Brazilian drugstores, and Middle Eastern hospitals) meet Italian and European brands looking for export deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Visitor Profile: Who Will Be There?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cosmofarma\u2019s commitment to data transparency means the 2026 visitor profile is well defined. Based on historical data (audited for 2026), expect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>50% Pharmacy Owners\/Managers:<\/strong> The decision-makers buying inventory for their physical stores.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>20% Pharmacists (Consultants):<\/strong> The staff seeking clinical education on new OTC drugs and dermocosmetics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>15% Distributors\/Wholesalers:<\/strong> B2B buyers sourcing for national chains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>10% Doctors\/Dermatologists:<\/strong> Prescribing brands they discover at the show.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>5% Press &amp; Influencers:<\/strong> Specifically, &#8220;Skinfluencers&#8221; (Instagram derm-doctors) who review medical-grade products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Geographically, while 70% are Italian (reflecting the local pharmacy density), the international contingent is growing rapidly. Expect strong delegations from <strong>Spain, Greece, Turkey, Russia (via third-party distributors), South Korea, and the UAE.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Transparency Protocol: A Deep Dive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us return to the core thesis: <em>Certainty and transparency of data<\/em>. Cosmofarma 2026 is implementing a three-layer verification system that will likely become the gold standard for all European trade fairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Layer 1: Pre-Registration (Digital ID)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All visitors must register online before arrival. They must upload a professional credential (pharmacist license, VAT number, business card). AI cross-references this data with European business registries. Fake accounts are rejected immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Layer 2: Physical Access (RFID Badges)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the turnstile, every visitor receives an RFID-enabled badge. Unlike simple barcodes, RFID tracks movement anonymously\u2014but crucially, it cannot be shared. If a badge enters the hall, leaves, and re-enters, the system records <em>one unique visitor<\/em>, not two entries. This kills &#8220;multiple counting.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Layer 3: Post-Show Audit (Deloitte or PWC)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An independent Big Four accounting firm will audit the raw server data. The final report\u2014published in June 2026\u2014will list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Unique visitors:<\/strong> Number of distinct individuals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Net square meters:<\/strong> Actual rented floor space (excluding aisles and lounges).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Exhibitor count:<\/strong> Number of companies with a contract, not brands.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is revolutionary. For years, trade show organizers inflated numbers to attract sponsors. Cosmofarma is betting that radical honesty will build longer-lasting loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exhibiting at Cosmofarma 2026: ROI &amp; Strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a brand considering exhibiting, the transparent metrics allow you to calculate ROI before you arrive. With known visitor numbers and square meters, you can estimate foot traffic density.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost to Exhibit (Estimates)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Standard Booth (12 sqm):<\/strong> \u20ac4,500 &#8211; \u20ac6,500 (including shell scheme, furniture, electricity).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Raw Space (min 20 sqm):<\/strong> \u20ac300 &#8211; \u20ac450 per sqm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>CosmoVision Startup Area (6 sqm):<\/strong> \u20ac1,500 (subsidized for companies under 3 years old).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Success in 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Focus on &#8220;Pharma-Beauty&#8221; Hybrids:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t bring your salon line. Bring your <em>medicalized<\/em> skincare. Highlight clinical trials. Italian pharmacists love data. Show them the SPF rating, the clinical study on hydration (+35% after 2 hours), the patch test results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Book Hospitality:<\/strong> Bologna is small. The show runs Saturday to Monday. Hotels within walking distance (NH Bologna De La Gare, Starhotels Excelsior) sell out by February 2026. Book now.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Schedule Meetings via the App:<\/strong> Cosmofarma uses a &#8220;Matchmaking 4.0&#8221; algorithm. Input your ICP (Ideal Customer Profile), and the app suggests meetings. Because the data is verified, the algorithm works.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Speak Italian (or hire a translator):<\/strong> While English is common, buying decisions in the pharmacy channel are made in Italian. A little <em>buongiorno<\/em> goes a long way.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Product Categories to Watch in 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on pre-registration trends and the advisory board\u2019s insights, five categories will dominate the aisles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Microbiome Skincare<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The science of the skin\u2019s bacteria is exploding. Exhibitors will launch prebiotic, probiotic, and postbiotic creams. Unlike the fads of 2023, 2026 products are stable, with proven shelf-life stability (critical for pharmacy inventory).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Menopause &amp; Hormonal Health<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For too long, women\u2019s aging was ignored. Cosmofarma 2026 features a dedicated &#8220;Menopause Pavilion.&#8221; Products include vaginal moisturizers (non-hormonal), supplements for hot flashes (black cohosh, pycnogenol), and skincare for estrogen-deficient skin. This is a massive growth area for pharmacies, as women trust pharmacists more than gynecologists for daily management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Sustainable Medical Devices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The EU is cracking down on single-use plastic in healthcare. Expect reusable pulse oximeters, refillable inhalers, and biodegradable pill organizers. Innovation is in <em>materials science<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. No-Codeine OTC Analgesics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As opioid concerns grow globally, new non-addictive pain relievers (including novel NSAIDs and paracetamol combinations) are launching first in Europe. Cosmofarma is the launch pad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. CBD (Cannabidiol) 2.0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;Wild West&#8221; of CBD is over. 2026 sees pharma-grade CBD: standardized doses, verifiable certificates of analysis, and claims for specific conditions (anxiety, sleep, localized pain). Italian pharmacies are leading the European charge in legitimizing cannabinoids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beyond the Exhibition: Bologna Experiences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A trade show is business; Bologna is pleasure. The city is famous as Italy\u2019s culinary capital (Tortellini, Rag\u00f9, Mortadella, Parmigiano). The show dates\u2014May 8-10\u2014coincide with perfect spring weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For the Attendee:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Evening events:<\/strong> Cosmofarma organizes &#8220;Aperifarma&#8221; (pharmacy networking with prosecco) at Palazzo Re Enzo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dining:<\/strong> Do not miss Trattoria Anna Maria (via delle Belle Arti) or Osteria dell\u2019Orsa for authentic, cheap pasta.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Culture:<\/strong> The Archiginnasio (ancient anatomy theater) is a 10-minute walk from the fairgrounds. It is a reminder that Bologna was the center of medical science in the 16th century\u2014a fitting metaphor for Cosmofarma.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For the Exhibitor:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Client entertainment:<\/strong> Book a cooking class at &#8220;Cook in Bologna&#8221; (Via Nazario Sauro). Making fresh pasta with a client is a bonding experience no PowerPoint can match.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u0627\u0644\u0646\u0642\u0644:<\/strong> Bologna Fiere is 2 km from the central station (Piazza Medaglie d\u2019Oro). Use the People Mover (automated monorail) or taxis (\u20ac12-15). The airport (BLQ) is 15 minutes by taxi.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comparison with Other Trade Shows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Why Cosmofarma over CPhI (pharmaceutical ingredients) or Cosmoprof (beauty)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>vs. CPhI (Frankfurt\/Madrid):<\/strong> CPhI is for chemical manufacturers and contract research. It is B2B industrial. Cosmofarma is B2B <em>retail<\/em>\u2014it\u2019s about selling finished products <em>to<\/em> the end seller (the pharmacy).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>vs. Cosmoprof (Bologna\/Las Vegas):<\/strong> Cosmoprof is massive (200,000+ visitors) but diluted. A pharmacist at Cosmoprof feels lost among hair salons and nail techs. Cosmofarma is <em>curated<\/em> for the pharmacy channel. Every product is relevant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>vs. Expopharm (Germany):<\/strong> Expopharm is excellent for the German\/Austrian market.

However, Cosmofarma 2026 makes the case emphatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For the Buyer (Pharmacist\/Retailer):<\/strong><br>You cannot replicate the haptic experience of touching a new cream, smelling a new shampoo, or testing a medical device in person. Moreover, the concentration of <em>all<\/em> your suppliers in one city for three days allows you to negotiate annual contracts face-to-face. The discounts offered on the show floor (often 10-20% off wholesale for bulk orders) pay for your trip. Combined with the audited transparency\u2014knowing you are one of thousands of <em>real<\/em> buyers\u2014the networking value is immense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For the Exhibitor (Brand):<\/strong><br>If you sell to pharmacies in Europe, you must be here. The transparency metrics mean you can accurately forecast leads. You will know exactly how many people walked past your booth (via RFID heat maps, available for purchase post-show). You can benchmark your performance against the show average. No more guessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For the Industry:<\/strong><br>Cosmofarma 2026 represents a maturation. The pharmacy is no longer a defensive channel (defending against Amazon); it is an offensive channel (innovating with dermocosmetics, telemedicine, and personalized care). The show\u2019s leadership in data transparency sets a standard that other industries will follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: Save the Date<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From May 8 to 10, 2026, Bologna is the center of the pharmaceutical and beauty universe. Cosmofarma offers the perfect synthesis of Italian flair (beautiful products, great food, passionate people) and Germanic rigor (audited data, clear ROI, structured learning).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you are a chain buyer looking for the next \u20ac50 million skincare brand, a single pharmacist wanting to refresh your back-office software, or a Korean cosmetics CEO seeking European distribution, the answer is the same: Go to Bologna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t trust the hype. Trust the data. And the data says that Cosmofarma 2026 will be the most transparent, efficient, and profitable pharmacy trade show in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u0643\u0648\u0632\u0645\u0648\u0641\u0627\u0631\u0645\u0627 2026<\/strong><br><em>8-10 May 2026 | Bologna Fiere, Italy<\/em><br><em>Healthcare.
