Europe's leading event for licensing and brand extension

 

Firstly, what is licensing?


Licensing is the process of "renting" a popular brand to use on your consumer products, and a proven way to increase sales and create new revenue streams for your business.

Brand Licensing Europe is the best way to connect with key players in licensing and brand extension.

How can licensing benefit you?


Licensing is the ultimate marketing power tool. From giants to local gems, everyone's in on it. Think entertainment, sports, heritage – all packed into products that jazz up your everyday.

Unlock new brand realms, store territories, or uncharted shopping havens. Brand licensing lets owners expand, conquer new fan territory, and enter fresh business realms, minus the manufacturing maze.
