Innovatiezone

Have you developed a smart, new solution as an exhibitor? We would be delighted to put your innovation in the spotlight in the Innovation Zone, powered by Karton Design.

Located at the heart of the event floor, the zone will showcase ten standout innovations. Visitors can vote for their favourite, both online and on site. An expert jury will assess every innovation based on originality, relevance and impact.

Together, the public vote and the expert jury will determine the winner of the Innovation Award.
