Green Product Award 2019 - Now with an own green fair
Berlin, 21. November 2018 – Green Product Award & Business!
For the sixth time, green products can be submitted to the international Green Product Award. The Green Selection products form the heart of the new Green Campus at the International Craft Trade Fair (Internationale Handwerksmesse, IHM). With 125.000 visitors & 2500 square meters of space for the presentation and sale of green products, the Green Campus is now the largest green trade fair in Europe.
The international Green Product Award offers a platform for manufacturers, design studios and agencies that are distinguished by their products and services in terms of design, innovation and sustainability and who want to present themselves on the German market. Since 2013, participants from 41 countries have applied for the prize. The awards are given in 13 categories separately for professionals and newcomers.
Next to that the Green Concept Award - supported by the IKEA Foundation - is for students/graduates who are willing to set up a business.
The products of the Green Selection will be presented at the fair on the 350 sqm Award area in individual green rooms along the categories of the Award: office, living room, children's room, kitchen, bathroom as well as in the changing room (fashion) or outdoor (garden & mobility) - architectural solutions will be shown separately. The submissions of the categories Consumer Electronics and Consumer Goods will be integrated into the rooms. The area is exclusively open to the press and jury one day before the fair.
For the first time, visitors can immerse themselves in completely green scenarios. Experts will inform the visitors about the special features of the products and the visitors can learn more about the products via electronic tags and, if necessary, mark them for purchase.
Participants of the award can also book their own stand space on the adjacent Green Campus to present and sell their products in more detail. A forum offers continuous insights from award participants and other experts.
The green pop-up store offers green accessories to take away with you and the Future Shop features the best green concepts and prototypes for a glimpse into the future.
