BIOGLOW™ has launched and the season is gaining momentum

by Stefanie Sieber

BIOGLOW™ launched on August 5, with the Founders and Future Editions starting the new season in parallel. To make sure everything was ready for kickoff, more than 40 documents and videos were translated, prepared, and made available to our community in the weeks leading up to the launch. Now it’s the teams’ turn: they are diving into the world of biodiversity and developing their own ideas and solutions!

Around 70 groups are now working on the new Future Edition 8+ challenges. Regional events are filling up as well: places are already becoming limited in five of our twelve Future regions, and the combined Future and Founders Edition event in Tyrol is already fully booked.

Demand for the Founders Edition is also high: 521 Challenge teams are registered for 55 competitions, while 136 Explore teams are registered for 48 exhibitions. Ten Challenge and five Explore events are already fully booked.

If you would still like to take part, make sure to check the available event locations. Future Edition 8+ and Founders Edition Challenge teams can register for regional events until the end of October. For Explore and in-school implementations, registration remains possible beyond that date.

Existing teams wishing to switch from the Founders Edition to the Future Edition during the transformation phase can also benefit from a switching bonus: the €100 event fee is waived. The voucher code is HoT_FT8+_2026.
