We are aiming to address sustainable materials innovation challenges that fashion industry is facing with a focus on circular and closed loop solutions.
The event is running on the 22-23rd March in in London and we are looking to connect with relevant startups, scaleups and innovators who could be a good fit to explore partnering and scaling their solutions and technologies with these leading companies.
The 2-day programme is focused on connecting start-ups/scaleups with industry and business experts to explore and learn best practices in how to navigate commercial partnerships. We will invite up to fifteen start-ups that are inventing new technologies or techniques that address the main challenges identified by our partners.
We are looking for startups and scaleups who might have solutions or technologies in the following areas:
- Sustainable alternatives to dyes, inks, adhesives, binders and coatings
- Alternatives fibres for paper and Lycra products
- Fibres and materials that have a low carbon footprint across the full growth and production cycle
- Treatments or additives that can enhance material or product qualities such as strength, softness, stretch, colour and durability
- We would also welcome other closed loop and circular solutions in the textile, fibre, and fashion industry.
