Following last year’s Renewing Fashion event, this year’s Transforming Fashion’s Footprint: Innovation and Business digs deeper into key challenges and opportunities for climate and energy transition actions in the fashion sector. While various efforts continue to be made to estimate fashion’s environmental footprint, major gaps remain in how to decarbonize material production and reshape business practices.
Our first session explores cutting-edge materials innovations where the biggest contribution could be made in ameliorating the largest share of the fashion value chain’s carbon emissions. The panel will spotlight startups, researchers, and industry leaders pioneering next-gen textiles and regenerative solutions.
The second session turns to business models. How can fashion bridge the gap between academic research and real-world enterprise? What strategies work to scale sustainability while maintaining commercial viability? Leaders from brands, startups, and academia will explore models that shift from extractive to regenerative, and from performative to transformational.
