Impressions Networking
The topics of the presentations and deep dives yesterday could hardly have been more different - and yet they had one thing in common: they reflected the diversity of the industry at the fully booked Innovation Day organised by Swiss Textiles 2025.
The participants were offered a broad spectrum of impressions - from a textile robot for delicate applications to a device that will be particularly useful in view of the introduction of the digital product passport by the EU, to a coaching community.
Presentations
New knowledge, new impulses
New materials, the latest findings from research, circular business models, success factors for companies and digital applications spread across 20 presentations and three deep dives.
Deep Dive: Textiles in Defence
A workshop on the topic of textiles in defence was also held for the first time. The two Swiss Textiles experts Aline Berger and Silvan Hunhevicz gave an insight into a field that is gaining in importance due to increasing geopolitical uncertainty.
Afterwards, the Amphora Foundation and Swiss Fair Trade presented the Fair Fashion Award - a fitting conclusion to a programme that combined inspiration and innovation.
