Barriers and Bridges: Global Fashion Summit in Copenhagen will address the duality of change
The fashion industry is facing immense pressure to adapt and innovate while complying with an increasingly complex regulatory environment. By convening core stakeholders across the fashion ecosystem and parallel industries, Global Fashion Summit will highlight the dualities of this moment, exploring how challenging new barriers can be leveraged as bridges for tangible change. With legislation accelerating, the boundaries between voluntary and mandatory efforts are blurring, demanding both courage and capital.
Through the lens of collective action, the Summit will tackle crucial topics encompassing social and environmental challenges, revealing the ways in which both barriers and bridges are defining fashion’s approach to sustainability today. The theme will underlie all elements of the Summit across its three stages. Speakers will showcase pathways to balance competing demands: climate leadership with business resilience, regulatory compliance with radical innovation, and near-term possibilities with long-term vision.
The Innovation Forum at the Summit will showcase a curated selection of solutions across the entire value chain, from pioneering materials to advanced end-of-use processes. Summit attendees can connect with exhibiting solution providers and participate in the Innovation Forum’s Matchmaking Programme, which facilitates tailored, one-on-one meetings between solution providers and Summit attendees, helping them advance their sustainability strategies through targeted collaborations.
