What is the ARABLAB Trade Show?

The ARABLAB is an international trade show that focuses on latest developments within analytical industries. The show deals with a number of technologies, including robotics and automation, biotechnology, laboratory technology, nanotechnology, environmental sciences, analytical instrumentation, and measurement and testing.

ARABLAB is regarded to be the largest technology show within the Middle East & Africa. It is also considered to be the most important technological trade show for the Indian Sub-Continent. Connecting people from all over the world, ARABLAB showcases some of the world’s latest laboratory and instrumentation equipment from global manufacturers.

What is different about ARABLAB?

ARABLAB is the only trade show to include countries situated in the Middle East, Africa, India, China and the rest of Asia. It showcases latest developments from world leading manufacturers. Industries covered by the ARABLAB include clinical diagnostics, drug development, forensic sciences, biotechnology, petrochemicals, scientific research and development, nanotechnology, laboratory technology, robotics and automation.

A Shop Window for buyers

ARABLAB is not just a showpiece for the latest innovations in analytical industries, it is a place where global buyers can meet the people behind the cutting-edge technology. And although the show includes mainly eastern countries, estimates show that around 60% of business generated at the show comes from outside the Arab world.

ARABLAB 2014

Last year around 11,000 people from over 100 countries came to the trade show. Just some of the subjects covered included grain technicians and forensic criminologists, university professors and industrial chemists, molecular geneticists and metallurgists, medical researchers and marine scientists.

Jean-Claude Alder, General Manager for Mettler-Toledo Sales International GmbH said ARABLAB ‘creates a wonderful environment that allows a good amount of face time with lab equipment manufacturers from around the world. It helps to advance the lab equipment industry in general and gives our clients and prospects a chance to discuss their most pressing lab challenges with our international team of experts.’

ARABLAB 2015

This year ARABLAB will be held in Dubai, where around 900 of the world’s leading companies from the UK, Austria, China, Germany, India, Korea, Spain, Switzerland and Taiwan will exhibit at the show. The show is around 20% bigger than last year, and in 2015, visitors can expect to find dedicated sections, with show sectors that feature different subjects. Disciplines covered include the Petrol Industry, Food Control, Life Sciences and Biotechnology, Medical Research and Nanotechnology.   

ENVIROTEC 2015

The International Show for Tomorrow’s Environmental Technology (ENVIROTEC) is a new show that will be featured alongside ARABLAB in 2015. ARABLAB recognises that as the infrastructure in the Middle East improves, so does the demand for technologies that benefit the environment.
