Seven health care firms in the region, from software to surgical gear, showed some muscle during a recent trade show trip to Germany.

The companies were part of a contingent of some 50 Florida businesses that sent officials to MEDICA, an annual confab held in Düsseldorf, Germany organizers bill as the world’s largest health care trade show. Enterprise Florida, the state’s economic development arm, led the delegation. “Florida was again the largest state at the trade show,” says Enterprise Florida President and CEO Jamal Sowell in a statement.
