Regional-Star Award
New in 2026: For the first time, the Regional Star Award was held outside the Grüne Woche exhibition grounds. Instead, it took place on 7 July 2026 at Auditorium Friedrichstraße in Berlin as part of a dedicated Regional Forum.
With the Regional Star Award, Lebensmittel Praxis and Grüne Woche honour outstanding regional concepts in the food retail sector. The award recognises projects from retail, industry and agriculture that strengthen the marketing of regional products while promoting economic success, environmental sustainability and social responsibility.
The winners of the 2026 Regional Star Award have been announced.
Companies from food retail, agriculture, the food industry, marketing organisations and service providers competed in the four award categories: Processing, Retail Cooperation, Marketing and Product Innovation. For the first time, the jury also presented the special award "Head Office Concept".
