Textile is everywhere.
The next big textile breakthrough could come from anywhere.

Textile is far more than clothing and interior decoration. It is a powerful enabler of innovation, helping to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges. From renewable energy to space exploration, from wastewater treatment to the circular economy. From smart materials and data-driven applications to defence and advanced manufacturing.

As new materials, emerging technologies and bold design approaches converge, textiles are reaching an inflection point. New possibilities are opening up across industries — and some of the people best placed to unlock them may never have worked with textiles before.

2027

You don’t have to be in the textile industry to transform it.

Are you developing a new technology? Researching advanced materials? Designing products for a changing world? Working on solutions for energy, mobility, healthcare, construction or environmental challenges? Your expertise could help unlock the next generation of textile applications.

That is why we invite innovators and bold minds from within and beyond the textile industry to explore what textiles can do next. We’re looking for researchers, engineers, technology developers, entrepreneurs, product and textile designers, creative thinkers and students — anyone with a product or an idea that could move textiles forward.
