The summer holidays seem already long behind us as we ponder our calendars for the upcoming months. Fabrix has a very busy fall planned, with events in numerous cities – enough to warrant writing this list! Check below to find out where you can catch up with Fabrix partners to learn more about the project and how to get involved. This list will be updated as new events are posted.

Avantex / Texworld Sourcing, “Biofashion Innovation Day”
Partner TCBL has organized a full day of talks at the prestigious Paris trade fair where the theme that links the discussion is “biofashion innovation”. But it’s not all about biotextiles – a big part of the bioeconomy is being locally oriented and circular, and those are highly relevant aspects of the Fabrix project. Indeed our project lead Karel van den Berghe will speak about “Rebuilding urban value chains”; Adrian Hill from OSMOS is part of the panel on “local, social and beautiful”, and TCBL’s Alexandra Korey will talk about ways of sharing our knowledge, including the upcoming Learning Hub that is part of the Fabrix project. Find the full schedule here.
