Licensing Portfolio Review

2nd Edition

Starting from 2024, the BLTF/Kids programme has been enriched with the Licensing Portfolio Reviews, a brand-new and innovative way of bringing together key players in animation, brands and consumer goods manufacturers - and everything related to these categories - and illustration and design talents. 

A series of speed-dating meetings taking place throughout the Book Fair is a unique opportunity to scout for new ideas and styles and create new opportunities for collaboration. 

The first edition of the Licensing Portfolio Reviews welcomed 16 international companies from the gaming, animation, toy, stationery and clothing sectors, for which more than 200 meetings with emerging and established illustrators and artists from all over the world were organised. Among the companies taking part in the first edition of these special portfolio reviews were Movimenti, Animoka, Enanimation and Gaumont from the animation world; Devolver Digital, Funny Tales and Awakening Games from gaming; while Pigna, Franco Cosimo Panini and Seven were the leading representatives for stationery category; J Brand International and Illustrabimbi were the pitchers for the apparel industry, together with MS Edizioni, Red Glove and Headu for board and educational games. Last but not least, international and hybrid companies such as Kreaktiva Lab also took part in these pitches, looking for illustrators capable of applying their art to cross-product projects. 

All Licensing Portfolio Review sessions are held at the Illustrators Survival Corner.
