In October 2014 the DR. BRILL ACADAMY Seminar on efficacy testing of disinfectants took place for the third time. Under the banner of “Registration and Efficacy Evaluation of Disinfections” DR. BRILL + PARTNER GmbH Institute for Hygiene and Microbiology has given an overview of the latest national and European developments concerning the efficacy evaluation of biocides as well as hands-on experiences about the implementation of registration procedures with regards to the biocide products directive. Special topics were the upcoming mandatory article 95-listing of suppliers of biocidal substances, the efficacy testing of cleaning products as well as the reprocessing of medical devices incl. validation. An active exchange even amongst the participants and the traditional maritime supporting program contributed to the success of the seminar. As we have received marvelous feedback, we would like to keep sharing the knowledge and experiences and will expand the seminar to a conference in October 2015.

In January 2014, Dr. Florian H.H. Brill gave the starting signal for the sales operations in the whole Middle East Region as well as India by opening a Free Zone Limited Liability Company (FZ-LLC) in the Dubai Biotechnology & Research Park (DuBiotech) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The opening ceremony of our first subsidiary abroad was hosted on the side-lines of Arab Health 2014. It was our pleasure to welcome officials, partners and customers from Germany, the UAE and the region. In addition, we were pleased to welcome our guests and speakers Mr. Marwan Abdulaziz, Executive Director of DuBiotech, H.H. Elke Badde, State Secretary of the Hamburg Ministry of Health and Consumer Protection, Dr Bassem El-Sayed Zayed from the Ministry of Health Oman and Prof.  Dr. Hans-Jörg Schmidt-Trenz, CEO of the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry.According to Dr. Florian Brill, “the market offers great opportunities and the healthcare demand is increasing on two levels; qualitative, in order to reach an international standard and quantitative, in order to provide the rising population with a proper healthcare system.” Hence, the investments by the public and private sector are increasing constantly. Mrs. Kirsten Staab, Director of the Healthcare Industry Service Center – Hamburg Representative Office UAE, confirms Dr. Brills point of view and said “Dubai, for example, developed a strategic plan for 2015 where they explicitly mention the importance of the healthcare sector. On the one hand, they have to increase the quality and availability of healthcare to the local population. On the other hand, Dubai focuses on the development of its healthcare sector in terms of international medical patient care.” Dr. Brill forecasts high potentials and great opportunities for his services.
