The exhibition will present solutions ranging from next-generation fibres and bio-based materials to artificial intelligence, digital product development, traceability, recycling and automation. According to organiser GL events, the event aims to help brands improve competitiveness while responding to growing demands for transparency, circularity and more efficient production.

Among the material innovations on display are leather alternatives made from food waste, mycelium-based materials, PLA fibres, recycled polyester solutions and plant-based alternatives to fur. Functional textiles for sportswear, outdoor and workwear will also play an important role, including PFAS-free membranes, bio-based fibres and high-performance fabrics designed to improve durability, breathability and waterproofness.

Digitalisation remains another central theme. Exhibitors will showcase technologies covering artificial intelligence, 3D product development, trend forecasting, supply chain optimisation and Digital Product Passport solutions. Circular business models, recycling technologies and traceability systems will complement the offering.

Florence Rousson, Managing Director of the Fashion Division at GL events, said the event reflects the industry's current transformation through innovation, strategic partnerships and new business opportunities that help companies prepare for the future.
