New challenges, a new ambition!

medFEL, federating the French regions
What’s the purpose of medFEL 2020?
Gather together all the regions in France and offer market players an opportunity to get up-to-date and contribute their own experience of the initiatives they have conducted. These are points that will make a difference among French and international buyers.
