PET worldwide is looking for the start-up of the year

PET worldwide wants to strengthen newcomer companies in the pet industry. In order to offer them a B2B communication platform, the international trade magazine from Dähne Verlag is once again organising a competition in 2024, for which start-ups can apply until 17 May.

From the applications received, the PET worldwide editorial team will nominate five companies. These will have the opportunity to present themselves and their products to a wide audience in five-minute live pitches at the International Pet Conference in Brussels on 16 and 17 October. All nominated companies will have optimal networking opportunities at the conference to raise their profile within the pet industry and find new co-operation partners from all over Europe. The winner will be honoured with the PET worldwide Best Newcomer Award on the first day of the conference.

Who chooses the winner? The winner will be chosen by PET worldwide readers in an online vote and by visitors to the International Pet Conference. The votes of PET worldwide readers and conference visitors will each count 50 per cent towards the overall ranking.

Interested new companies and start-ups can apply here until 17 May. Companies that have already applied for the Best Newcomer Award in recent years but have not yet been chosen as the winner are also welcome to apply.
