World Creativity and Innovation Day is celebrated on April 21. It's an opportunity to highlight the fact that at Djazagro, too, creativity is regularly honored through the Djaz'Innov contest.

Raising awareness of the role of creativity and innovation in all aspects of human development: that's the aim of this World Creativity and Innovation Day, celebrated every April 21 since its creation in 2017 by the United Nations. "Creativity reflects who we are and the values we hold dear. It helps create a rich mix of cultures and supports social and economic growth," the UN reminds us.

This observation is shared by the Djazagro trade show, which has been promoting this creativity since 2022 and the launch of the Djaz'Innov competition.

Once again this year, candidates have demonstrated their inventiveness in presenting innovations that are truly transformative in their markets. This year's World Creativity and Innovation Day is an ideal opportunity to recall the list of 2025 winners.
