Dozens of decision-making buyers from around the world join Kids' Time 2026. Exhibitors opening up to new markets

30 January 2026
The Kids' Time 2026 Expo, held on 17-19 February, has been the most important business event in Poland's children's industry for years. In addition to several hundred exhibitors, several dozen buyers from around the world have already confirmed their participation in this year's expo. Representatives from companies in Europe, Africa, and Asia will be present, responsible for purchasing decisions, brand development, and introducing products to new markets on a daily basis.

The list of confirmed buyers for Kids' Time 2026 includes representatives from, to name a few, Algeria, Spain, Morocco, Greece, Bulgaria, Ethiopia, Ghana, Romania, Serbia, Tunisia, Lithuania, and Uzbekistan. These are importers, distributors, wholesalers, owners of retail chains, as well as directors and high-level managers – CEOs, CCOs, brand managers, and commercial and sales managers. These people have a real influence on purchasing decisions and the development of products in their countries. For exhibitors, this is a real opportunity to expand internationally and establish long-term business relationships.

The scope of buyers' activities includes local, national, and international markets. Many of them are actively seeking new brands, innovative products, and proven business partners to enter new foreign markets. The broad representation of countries makes Kids' Time 2026 a natural platform for launching export expansion into European markets and the rapidly developing markets of North Africa and Central Asia.

For exhibitors, participating in trade fairs is not only an opportunity to present new products; above all, it offers direct meetings with decision-makers who have specific purchasing needs and clearly defined development plans. Discussions held during the trade fair can translate into real contracts, product distribution in new countries and long-term international cooperation.

Kids' Time 2026 is where manufacturers, brands and buyers from around the world meet to build the future of the children's industry together. For companies considering expanding abroad, a presence at trade fairs is not only an opportunity but also a necessity. This is where new export directions and real opportunities to conquer new markets are born.
