BIOFACH \/ VIVANESS eSPECIAL: Digital gathering of the organic sector<\/h2>\n

More than 400.000 chat messages were sent and over 10.000 video meetings held as the participants interacted at a highly professional level. This year\u2019s BIOFACH and VIVANESS Congress proved very popular<\/strong>. The session “The German Organic Market: Facts, Figures, Analysis 2021”, for example, achieved record participant numbers with more than 700 attendees. The next meeting of the international organic food and natural and organic personal care products sector will move to a Tuesday-Friday slot, and will take place on 15-18 February 2022.<\/p>\n

“The BIOFACH \/ VIVANESS 2021 eSPECIAL confirms the strong needs on the part of the international sector to interact, network, and have a place to meet, as offered by BIOFACH \/ VIVANESS”, comments Petra Wolf<\/strong>, Member of The Management Board, N\u00fcrnbergMesse. “The trade fair pairing is a place to meet and interact at both an emotional and a personal level, as well as a platform for business and knowledge. We\u2019re pleased that this year\u2019s digital format offered a pandemic-compatible alternative, and especially that all the stakeholders accepted it so well! At the same time, we\u2019re already fired up about next year. This year we said, \u2018Let\u2019s e-meet before we re-meet,\u2019 and now we\u2019re particularly keen to be able to meet up again in person”.<\/p>\n

Especially broad range for BIOFACH \/ VIVANESS congress<\/h3>\n

Several hundred participants showed an interest in the respective congress programme sessions of the BIOFACH\/VIVANESS eSPECIAL<\/strong> this year, and interacted at a high professional level. With about 550 participants, Safe sustainability for packaging: Current requirements, trends and challenges for the future<\/em>\u00a0represented one of the top themes, just like Natural and Organic Cosmetics Industry Monitor 2020: Data, Facts and Forecasts<\/em> and Beauty Briefing \u2013 Global Beauty Trends and Inspirations<\/em>\u00a0in the VIVANESS congress. Both these latter events recorded more than 350 participants, and more than 200 registered<\/strong> for the STADTLANDBIO Digital congress, held in parallel with the BIOFACH\/VIVANESS eSPECIAL.<\/p>\n

Trends and new products prove a winner<\/h3>\n

In addition to the professionally polished congress programme, highlights this year again included new products and trends. Trade fair trends at BIOFACH<\/strong> in 2021 were “plant-based products”, “low-sugar and sugar-free products”, “food with additional benefits”, “sustainability and social responsibility”, and at VIVANESS<\/strong> “waterless beauty, me time & comfort, safe beauty and circular beauty”. Once again, participants selected their favourites from among the more than 500 submitted new products to receive the Best New Product Award. The two digital trend tours proved highly popular, with over 540 and more than 280 inspired listeners, respectively.<\/p>\n
