INVITATION
We are pleased to invite you to the TEX-BREIN Final Conference, which will take place 30 September 2026 in the LOOM HOTEL in Lodz/Poland, Ogrodowa str. 21. This will be the concluding event of a European initiative dedicated to strengthening innovation ecosystems, accelerating SME transformation, and supporting the transition towards a more competitive, sustainable, and circular textile industry.
The conference will bring together senior representatives of industry, SMEs, business support organizations, universities, research and technology institutes, and regional and public authorities, creating a high-level platform for dialogue, knowledge exchange, and strategic cooperation across the European textile ecosystem.
As Europe advances its industrial transformation agenda, collaboration between business, research, and policy actors is becoming increasingly important. The TEX-BREIN Final Conference will provide an opportunity to exchange experiences, present project achievements, discuss future policy directions, and explore new avenues for cooperation and innovation.
We would particularly like to invite leaders and companies from the textile and apparel sector to participate in the afternoon TEX-BREIN Matchmaking Arena, a dedicated session designed to facilitate meaningful business connections, identify future project opportunities, foster strategic partnerships, and support the development of innovative and circular business models.
