The transformation of the fashion industry has begun. New technologies are already changing how we define fashion — from gaming culture to connected clothes. In the European Union, a series of initiatives with massive funding are set in motion to set new standards for the textile industry. Recycling is becoming a fast-growing sector.
Are you a fashion executive, brand or marketing director, or are working in fashion-related industries, such as recycling or real estate?
We are providing a birds-eye view of the current fashion innovation landscape. We will provide you with up-to-date insights and actionable knowledge in order to define challenges and find opportunities. This is an intimate two-day workshop, with a chance to interact with the speakers and network with industry colleagues.
In this collaboration between Novare Leadership Academy and Scandinavian MIND, we create a new arena for leaders in the fashion industry, helping them tackle the current transformation and develop as leaders.
You will get:
An overview of the current fashion transformation.
Insights into gaming, wearables, and other technologies.
A look at the new EU standards for the textile industry.
Networking with speakers and colleagues.
Join us at Görvälns Slott 14—15 September 2021.
