In September 2022, Kind + Jugend, a central trend and order platform for the international baby and toddler industry, will once again return. With registrations already in place from a large number of key players together with small and medium-sized companies, it is clear the industry is ready to meet in person again at Kind + Jugend from 8-10 September 2022.
The preliminary list of exhibitors is available to view on the Kind + Jugend website and includes ABC Design; Britax Römer; Candide; Delta Children; Done by Deer; Doudou et Compagnie; Motorola; Gesslein; Hartan; HTS; Jollein; Joolz; Lässig; Osann; Paidi; Pearhead; Recaro; Roba; Schardt; Skip Hop; Sterntaler; TFK; Thermobaby; Thule; Träumeland; Uppababy and Vulli.
Last year, the trade fair took an important step towards normality with a small, Special Edition.
In 2022, the focus will be on Europe, parts of Asia, and also selected regions such as North and South America. Thirty-five countries are already represented among the exhibitors. Most important for Kind + Jugend director Jörg Schmale, however, is the trade fair’s focus on high-quality products for babies and toddlers.
“In addition to its international component, the strength of Kind + Jugend is the premium level of its lineup,” he says. “Parents want to raise their children more and more with sustainable products. This desire is addressed by manufacturers in several different ways and presented to the trade at Kind + Jugend. This is, and continues to be, the unique brand essence of Kind + Jugend.”
Innovation Award
After a two-year break, participating companies are once again invited to take part in the Innovation Award competition. The award is presented each year at Kind + Jugend across various categories. A jury comprising trade journalists, healthcare experts and industry consultants select the top innovations, which are showcased both at the trade fair and online.
As well as the existing eight product categories, an award for sustainable products – World of Sustainability Kids – will also be presented for the first time this year. Further information and a registration link are available on the Kind + Jugend website.
Start-up area
Kind + Jugend is also offering young international companies a dedicated area. Ideal for testing the international market, Kind + Jugend offers start-ups the opportunity to showcase their products in a pavilion alongside other young companies.
Trend Forum – the platform for lectures, talks and industry presentations
The Trend Forum at Kind + Jugend offers all trade fair participants the opportunity to obtain information about trends in their industry. The stage programme will feature international experts, from market research to specialists, who will talk about current trends and visionary approaches from different perspectives. Presentations on best practices and tips for business success, both online and offline, will also take place.
