Bologna Licensing Trade Fair ran alongside the Book Fair, benefitting from the increased international attendance.

The show saw The Pokémon Company International pick up an award for Licensing Project Kids (boys 6-10) for its Pokémon Collection by Geox. The collection was displayed in special windows during the Bologna Book Fair and Bologna Licensing Trade Fair.

In addition, the organiser also confirmed a new collaboration between Bologna Children’s Book Fair and Moscow International Book Fair, which will see a new International Children’s Book Fair held in Russia in 2021.
