Innovation sessions for entrepreneurs

8 August 2025 In June and July, we hosted two successful online Innovation Meet & Greet sessions. With concrete examples of fibre-to-fibre recycling and post-consumer recycled (POCR) content in practice, we inspired entrepreneurs with hands-on solutions and connected them directly with innovators in the chain.

Giving frontrunners a stage
During the first session, Vodde, Company Fits, Denim Deal, REMOkey B.V., Wolkat, and Frankenhuis Textielrecycling took the stage. In the second session, SaXcell and Brightfiber presented their pioneering work.

Collaboration and innovation power
The Innovation Meet & Greets strengthen collaboration and innovation capacity within the textile sector. Post-consumer recycled content is playing an increasingly important role in sustainable product development and in building a circular textile chain. In short: valuable insights and connections for entrepreneurs to move forward!
