The flood of new products does not stop, but persistently makes its way into people`s households. In order to maintain this innovation power on the long term, an innovation contest for hemp products was promoted at the fair for the first time, organized by the Republic of Bongland/GER (in overall charge: Rainer Wokatsch) and supported by Tri Tec GmbH.
Nine companies took part with their products and left them up to the assessment of the jury that consisted of seven well-known business men from the hemp branch. "Hydromino", a new smart system for environmentally friendly packaging of soluble fertilizers, took the grand prize (company: Hydropcorp Ltd./ Australia), followed by the "Piece Pipe" from the Swedish company Sector 7G and the biodegradable growing medium "Ecofoam" from the Dutch company of the same name. An also promising product comes from No Mercy Supply and gained place 4 in the contest: "Seed & Clones Soil" was created as a result of a research trip to native hemp vegetation zones in Nepal, its composition corresponds to the native soil formula there.
