HEXR at MEDICA 2025 — Microtube Technologies

17–20 November 2025 · Düsseldorf, Germany · MEDICA START-UP PARK

Microtube Technologies had a great experience exhibiting at MEDICA 2025, one of the world’s leading international trade fairs for medical technology and healthcare.

We showcased the HEXR Haptic Glove at the MEDICA START-UP PARK in Hall 12, alongside innovative start-ups from around the world working across medical technology, digital health and diagnostics. The 2025 Start-up Park brought together around 80 start-ups, creating a strong environment for meeting healthcare professionals, technology companies, investors and potential partners.

At the exhibition, we demonstrated HEXR’s potential for medical simulation and professional training, allowing users to experience physical sensations such as pressure, contact and vibration while interacting with virtual environments.

We also explored applications beyond healthcare, including industrial training and simulation, where realistic haptic feedback can help make virtual training environments more immersive and interactive.

MEDICA was a valuable opportunity for us to introduce HEXR to an international audience and connect with organisations interested in the future of haptic technology, simulation and training.
