An Innovation Zone at the heart of the exhibition area will highlight all the latest new products and services of exhibitors in the risk management market. On the opening day the Innovation Awards will be handed out, and recognition given out in: safety/security, fire prevention, health and safety at work, industrial and technological risks, natural risks, workwear, internet user prize.


New to the show this year is also the so-called “Ergonomics Village”, an area totally dedicated to ergonomics, and with about 30 manufacturers and distributors exhibiting.
