Design Innovation Sessions 2026: Thriving Planet
This event was held in English
The smart weaving mill
Circularity in fashion and textiles sounds ambitious, but real change often starts small and local. How do those initiatives grow beyond their niche into an economic system that works at scale? Digitalisation is not a threat to craftsmanship, it is the key: from digital weaving studios to on-demand production in Europe. The challenge is not just to demonstrate that added value, but to make it measurable.
