The ISPO Brandnew Hall of Fame is filled after thirty events with renowned companies. And more importantly, the former winners have grown into an actively net- working community. Of course, ISPO Brandnew is not a guarantee of success for young start-ups, but it is an essential element that serves as an accelerator for the success of the participants, as you can see within the following quotes of former awardees.

The best thing about ISPO is that people from all over the world come together. I was able to establish contacts in China, the Philippines, Korea and Australia, but also found distributors for our product in Europe.

Our presence alone opened many doors in the industry. We met members of the snowboard media and other manufacturers who played a key role in our surprisingly fast growth.

We are constantly striving to connect with new markets and expand our network. Being a part of the ISPO helped us meet new potential business partners and GoPro customers in the sports world. The ISPO BRANDNEW Village was a great entry point!

ISPO Brandnew paved the way to new markets and a broadened product range.
Andy Laats, Nixon, ISPO Brandnew Winner 2000
ISPO Brandnew played – along with passion – a major role in the first chapter of the Maloja success story. Young companies profit from the attention. The application disciplines and motivates. but all the hard work is justified in the end when you rank amongst the best.
Peter Räuber, Maloja, ISPO Brandnew Winner 2005
Our presence and the attention we received was overwhelming. At the same time we realized that we were still greenhorns in a number of areas. All day long we talked with many incredibly interesting and experienced people from the market, distribution, retail, media sectors, with television teams, and so on.
