The presentation of the Formex Nova Award is as usual one of the highlights during the Formex fall exhibition – it will take place on the first exhibition day August 20. Formex has established the Formex Nova Award – Nordic Designer of the Year, to promote high-quality Nordic design created by a still relatively unknown designer working in the Nordic interior design industry.
The work on Nordbygg 2020 is in full swing. Sales of the exhibition area that remains are ongoing and at the same time the rest of the fair content is taking shape. Everything so that visitors and exhibitors get as much as possible out of it.
At Formex, which will be held August 20-23, an object’s inherent energy will be in the spotlight in a unique exhibition created by world-famous trend expert Li Edelkoort. The inspiration behind the exhibition, which will fill Stockholmsmässan’s entire entrance hall, is animism – the belief that even inanimate objects could have a soul.
Formex – the largest and most important platform for Nordic design – will introduce a new product and hall layout in August as well as special theme days to discuss hot industry topics. "We are tightening our grip on Formex to adjust to an industry experiencing rapid change. This will also create new opportunities," says Lotta Ahlvar, Operative Event Manager for Formex.
On 3-4 September, GastroSummit – a totally new and unique gastronomic forum – will cater to all tastes at Stockholmsmässan. News, innovation and the food of the future are on the menu.

Nordbygg’s range is increasing and therefore also the relevance for actors outside the industry’s absolute core. The Project Group is working hard to incorporate current topics into the fair. The focus in 2018 on digital solutions for the construction and housing sector was successful and the concept will be further developed for 2020.
In October 2020, Stockholmsmässan will introduce Smart City – Sweden’s leading meeting place for smart cities and urban innovation. Transport solutions of the future, smart properties, digital transformation and a generally better and more sustainable urban environment are some of the topics that will be raised at seminars, workshops, conferences and exhibitions.
Nordbygg is a central market activity for many Nordic companies within the construction and housing industry. The in every way successful fair of 2018 has made many companies make early decisions to return when Nordbygg is back in a little over a year. Two of them are the tech-group Bemsiq and Svenska Fönster, one of Sweden´s leading window manufacturers.
The Nordic design award, Formex Nova, is being recognized at the DesignMarch International Design Festival, which is held in Reykjavik on March 28-31. This through an exhibition at The Nordic House in the middle of town where all the nominees of the year are presented, and last year's winner Ragna Ragnarsdóttir has her own department.
The European Association for the Study of Diabetes, EASD, has decided to hold its annual meeting 2021 in Stockholm. It will be the fifth time the event is being held in Stockholm and for Stockholmsmässan the result of a long-term and strategic work has once again proven to give great results.
