The Biennial of Industrial Design (known by its Slovene acronym BIO) is a comparative international design exhibition with a tradition of more than forty years; here designers, commissioners, manufacturers, and students from all over the world present their latest achievements. For BIO 22, an international selection committee have chosen products, concepts, and works in product graphics and information design that propose creative and innovative solutions for problems we face in our lives today, solutions that focus on sustainable development and social responsibility and that address the unique needs of different groups of users. On 7 October 2010, after reviewing the 132 exhibits from 24 countries, an international jury of esteemed design professionals will present this year’s BIO Awards.

This year's biennial will run from 7 Oct to 7 Nov, and in addition to the main BIO exhibition, many accompanying events take place during the period of the Biennial.
