The Kind + Jugend Innovation Award, the Kids Design Award and the Consumer Award are also central to the event programme, highlighting trends and products the industry can expect to see more of in the future.
All winners will be announced on the first day of the fair (Thursday 20 September) and the winning products and designs will be presented throughout the exhibition center.
Trend Forum lectures will be presented by industry experts and trend researchers and will look at the fashions which are likely to influence supply and demand throughout the baby and children’s equipment industry.
