DOMOTEX 2023: THE GREEN COLLECTION – sustainability at your fingertips

12-15 January 2023, Hannover

Deutsche Messe has used the time of the COVID-19 pandemic hiatus to adapt the world's leading trade show for carpets and floor coverings to changing market needs as well as to further strategic developments. From 12 to 15 January, DOMOTEX will show several new features – a modern and optimized arrangement of the two newly introduced DOMOTEX labels "Rugs" and "Flooring" as well as an adapted hall structure that will facilitate orientation. In addition, DOMOTEX offers even more application orientation and more special formats tailored to specific target groups for more atmosphere and more relevance.

“At the next DOMOTEX, there will be many new things to discover. We have used the last year intensively to develop new participation opportunities for companies and to create a new brand experience for our trade show guests. Extremely valuable for us was, and is the exchanges with all market participants. The topic of sustainability and the circular economy play a major role. The past two years in particular have shown that topics such as resource efficiency, environmentally-friendly products and production processes as well as difficult supply chains are increasingly coming to the fore. With its special showcase "THE GREEN COLLECTION", DOMOTEX is focusing on the issue of sustainability, and offering exhibitors and visitors a hands-on experience of the keynote theme.

The 'new' DOMOTEX will offer everyone involved plenty of scope for experience, orientation, innovation and inspiration, but also, of course, access to new customers, partners and suppliers. We will be presenting trends, innovations and lifestyle de-centrally in the respective exhibition areas. Exhibitors and trade show guests can look forward to many innovative ideas. They can discover trends and innovations that will shape tomorrow's business,” explained Sonia Wedell-Castellano, Global Director DOMOTEX, Deutsche Messe AG.

Likewise, with the new special display area “THE GREEN COLLECTION”, the theme of sustainability will be presented in an inspiring ambience. In line with the keynote theme FLOORED BY NATURE, the special GREEN COLLECTION area will provide an overview of products and production processes from carpet and flooring manufacturers that stand for sustainability. These curated exhibitor contributions will provide orientation and inspiration for anyone seeking information on sustainable products and, thanks to corresponding manufacturer credentials, make it easier to find products at DOMOTEX. THE GREEN COLLECTION covers the topics of: eco-friendly products; healthy products; sustainable production; and social responsibility. Current research projects, and thus a glimpse into the future of carpeting and flooring, are also offered at the event.

Perimeter Protection 2023: Anticipation is already strong for the next Perimeter Protection

17-19 January 2023, Nuremberg

In 2022 the decision was taken, on account of the pandemic, and in close consultation with exhibitors and partner entities Gütegemeinschaft Metallzauntechnik (Metal Fence Technology Association), Verband für Sicherheitstechnik (German Association for Security Technology, VfS) and UAV DACH (German-speaking Association for Unmanned Aircraft), to defer Perimeter Protection for a year. Plans are now in full swing for the event in January 2023, and 90 per cent of the exhibition area is already booked.

Trade visitors can look forward to an event that reflects the entire range of products and services for mechanical, electric and electronic security solutions. Rounding out the exhibition is the integration of the U.T.SEC platform, which focuses on the technical, legal and practical opportunities available for the use of drones and other unmanned technologies, and for defence against such systems.

Perimeter Protection 2023 will once again offer an accompanying Trade Forum with highcalibre speakers, presenting practical solutions as well as offering participants plenty of opportunities for professional knowledge-sharing and discussions with experts during the three days of the event.

The themes of perimeter protection, fencing and building security, and unmanned technologies are a firm part of the programme, which is being organized in partnership with the VfS (German Association for Security Technology), UAV DACH (German-speaking Association for Unmanned Aircraft) and CURPAS (Civil Use of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems). The presentations will focus on innovative approaches and novel solutions, and will tackle topics of current interest. The Trade Forum will also offer businesses and institutions an opportunity to present their subject-area expertise and products, and services to the exhibition and lecture visitors.

Spielwarenmesse brings 2023 trends to life

1-5 February 2023, Nuremberg

In the retail trade, toy trends play an important part in shaping the product range and can affect the success of the business. In such matters, the Spielwarenmesse relies on the expertise of its TrendCommittee to identify relevant developments at an early stage. The team is pulling together its findings and meeting to identify the Spielwarenmesse trends that will be announced around mid-October 2022. After a two-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, visitors will once again be able to explore the trends with relevant products in the redesigned ToyTrends special area in Hall 3A.

The international Trend Committee is made up of market researchers, trend scouts and journalists. For the Spielwarenmesse, its 13 members have devoted themselves again to the search for future-orientated trends in their own countries. And the team has a new member – Jackie Breyer is succeeded by Maddie Michalik of the USA. As a journalist for The Toy Insider and The Toy Book, she keeps the industry up to date, reporting on innovations, trends and new product launches. In addition, she often appears as a guest in various TV shows to discuss such matters.

In specifying the trends, there are key criteria that the Spielwarenmesse experts take into account. Prime focus is on medium-term industry trends that will exert an influence on the world of toys in the future. This gives the toy sector an overview and a means of orientation as to the trends that are already playing a part in the relevant media and social networks, but which are not yet affecting the market to a significant extent.

“Other important factors for the Spielwarenmesse trends are the international dimension and mass-market suitability,” explains Christian Ulrich, Spokesperson for the Board at Spielwarenmesse eG. “With its ability to look beyond the usual horizons, and given the different personal backgrounds of its members, the TrendCommittee has a real feel for newly emerging trends.”
