Innovation Square organisers prepare to open “a window on the future”

18/09/2018
Organisers of the Innovation Square feature at the next Lineapelle (September 25-27) have dubbed it “a window on the future”.

Across the three days, 40 speakers from 11 countries will present new ideas that have the potential to make an impression on the leather manufacturing industry.

As well as “stimulating discussions”, the organisers are optimistic that possible new partnerships could form between the innovative start-ups and specialised research institutes presenting the new ideas and tanning groups and investors in the audience. “New materials, new processes, new technologies at all levels of development, from laboratory prototypes to fully industrialised solutions, will be on show,” the organisers have said.

Sessions aimed at inspiring companies to be innovative, on future materials, on biotechnology, on biomimicry, on material functions, on automation, on the sustainability and the “circularity” of the fashion business and on the skills required for the innovative businesses of the future.
