Dornbirn congress to put the spotlight on startups

09/07/2019
The next edition of the Dornbirn Global Fibre Congress will take place from September 11-13, with the topics to be covered including sustainability and the circular economy, digitalisation, technical textiles and nonwovens.

More than 100 industry figures will deliver talks across the three days of the event, including representatives from Lenzing, Indorama, Oerlikon and Microsoft.

New for this year is the launch of a new programme, which the organisers call ‘Startup Days’. It will see a number of promising startup companies present their ideas in the areas of smart fibres, smart applications, sustainability and the circular economy. A special area will also be set up to offer these young companies the opportunity to network with established industry figures.
