Here we are sharing our experiences and some results last week in Paris at Avantex, part of , where a day of talks on the theme of Bio-Fashion Innovation was organized by our partner .
FABRIX Project manager Karel van den Berghe from TU Delft discussed how innovative urban production represents a crucial step toward the relocalisation of manufacturing in Europe, framing our current needs within the evolution of globalisation. Adrian Hill from participated in the panel on "Local, Social, and Beautiful Systems of Production," where topics included evolved traditional clusters that maintain high-quality output despite competitive pricing pressures, digitally connected microfactories capable of scalable production, and local models that promote greater circularity through reuse, repair, and remanufacture. Finally, our communications officer Alexandra Korey spoke about learning and resource hubs including the forthcoming resources that will be published by the FABRIX project, and presented our open call for SMEs in Rotterdam and Athens.
At the event, there was also an opportunity to learn about other related projects like about which there was a small exhibition about how it promoted bio-based, local and circular production, and to meet SME owners through TCBL's ReSources podium in the fair.
