Licensing Portfolio Reviews

Born in 2024, the Licensing Portfolio Reviews quickly established themselves as one of the most innovative formats within the BLTF/Kids programme — a fresh way of bridging two worlds that rarely meet face to face: on one side, the key players in animation, brands and consumer goods; on the other, a vibrant community of illustration and design talents.

The format is simple yet powerful: a series of speed-dating meetings running throughout the Book Fair, giving companies a unique chance to scout new ideas, discover unexpected styles and spark collaborations that might not have happened otherwise.

In 2026, the initiative continues to grow, with over 160 artists and more than 32 companies ready to meet.
