About Event
The 2020 Event Has Run: Thank You to Our Speakers, Sponsors and Delegates for Joining Us at the Digital Meeting!
In the last few years, rapid advances in science and technology have driven a new materials revolution, supported by some of fashion’s biggest brands and a plethora of start-ups developing materials from novel feedstocks such as algae, fungi and crop waste.
The Next-Generation Bio-Based Alternative Materials Innovation Summit will bring together key decision-makers and innovators from start-ups, biotechs creating plant-based alternative materials & dyes, together with fashion & apparel brands, leading suppliers and manufacturers, to explore key challenges and opportunities in the successful commercialization of bio-based materials and dyes at scale.
Next March join fellow experts from MII, Natural Fiber, Welding, Spiber, AlgiKnit and many more, to discuss how pioneering plant-based and biotech enabled technology innovations are changing the sustainable materials landscape. Addressing topics from scaling up from R&D into pilot production and beyond, discover how these new materials are pushing boundaries on both sustainability and functionality, whilst transforming value chains.
